Objective To explore the correlation between the imaging features of peripheral ground-glass pulmonary nodules and the invasion degree of lung adenocarcinoma, and the high risk factors for infiltrating lung adenocarcinoma under thin-slice CT, which provides some reference for clinicians to plan the surgical methods of pulmonary nodules before operation and to better communicate with patients, and assists in building a clinical predictive model for invasive adenocarcinoma. Methods Clinical data of the patients with peripheral ground-glass pulmonary nodules (diameter≤3 cm) in thin-slice chest CT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2019 to January 2020 were continuously collected. All patients underwent thin-slice CT scan and thoracoscopic surgery in our center. According to the pathological examination results, they were divided into two groups: an adenocarcinoma lesions before infiltration group, and an invasive lung adenocarcinoma group. The thin-slice CT imaging parameters of pulmonary nodules were collected. The nodular diameter, mean CT value, consolidation tumor ratio (CTR), nodular shape, vacuolar sign, bronchial air sign, lobulation sign, burr sign, lesion boundary, pleural depression sign, vascular cluster sign and other clinical data were collected. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to analyze the independent risk factors for the infiltrating lung adenocarcinoma, and to analyze the threshold value and efficacy of each factor for the identification of infiltrating lung adenocarcinoma. Results Finally 190 patients were enrolled. There were 110 patients in the adenocarcinoma lesions before infiltration group, including 21 males and 89 females with a mean age of 53.57±10.90 years, and 80 patients in the invasive lung adenocarcinoma group, including 31 males and 49 females with a mean age of 56.45±11.30 years. There was a statistical difference in the mean CT value, nodular diameter, CTR, gender, smoking, nodular type, nodular shape, vacuolar sign, lobulation sign, burr sign, lesion boundary, pleural depression sign, vascular cluster sign between the two groups (P<0.05). However, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in age (P=0.081), lesion site (P=0.675), and bronchial air sign (P=0.051). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that nodular diameter, mean CT value, CTR and lobulation sign were independent risk factors for differentiating preinvasive adenocarcinoma from invasive adenocarcinoma. At the same time, the threshold value was calculated by Youden index, indicating that the CTR was 0.45, the nodal diameter was 10.5 mm and the mean CT value was –452 Hu. Conclusion In the peripheral ground-glass pulmonary nodules, according to the patient's CT imaging features, such as mixed ground-glass nodules, irregular shapes, vacuoles, short burrs, clear boundaries, pleural indentations, and vascular clusters, have a certain reference value in the discrimination of the invasion degree of ground-glass pulmonary nodules. At the same time, it is found in this research that peripheral ground-glass pulmonary nodules with diameter greater than 10.5 mm, CT value greater than –452 Hu, CTR greater than 0.45 and lobulation sign are more likely to be infiltrating lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and drug resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae infections at different systems, providing laboratory reference for the rational use of antibiotics in clinical practice.Methods:The clinical characteristics and drug resistance of patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in respiratory, urinary, hematologic, and other systems who received treatment in Wuzhou Red Cross Hospital from January 2015 to December 2021 were analyzed.Results:From 2015 to 2021, there were 3 496 cases of Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in the hospital, among which the respiratory system was most affected with 2 250 strains (64.34%). The sex ratio of patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae infections at different systems was statistically significant ( χ2 = 266.77, P < 0.001). The respiratory system and hematological system were more commonly infected by Klebsiella pneumoniae in men, while the urinary system was more commonly infected in women. The sex ratio of patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae infections at other systems were similar. The age distribution of patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae infections at different systems was significantly different ( χ2 = 176.54, P < 0.001). Klebsiella pneumoniae infections of the respiratory, urinary, and hematological systems were the most common in people aged > 60-80 years, while Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in other systems were mainly found in people aged > 18-60 years. There were significant differences in the distribution of departments among different Klebsiella pneumoniae infection systems ( χ2 = 1 415.30, P < 0.001). The ICU had the highest incidence of Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in the respiratory system, while the department of internal medicine had the highest incidence of Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in the urinary and hematological systems, and the department of surgery had the highest incidence of Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in other parts of the body. The resistance rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae to common antibiotics for the hematologic system was lower than that of the other three infection systems. For infections in the respiratory system, urinary system, and other body parts, the resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae to amikacin, meropenem, imipenem, and piperacillin/tazobactam were all below 10%, while the resistance rate to tobramycin was below 20%, and the resistance rate to cephalosporins was around 30%. Conclusion:The proportion of Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in different body parts varies by gender, age, and department. For Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in the hematological system, the resistance rate to commonly used antibiotics is lower than that for infections in the other three systems. In contrast, Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in the respiratory system, urinary system, and other systems have a particularly high resistance rate to third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins but are still sensitive to piperacillin/tazobactam and carbapenem antibiotics.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of three individualized drug delivery tools, i.e. JPKD, SmartDose and NextDose, in predicting tacrolimus dose and blood concentration after kidney transplantation, and analyze the influential factors of prediction accuracy. METHODS The clinical data of adult hospitalized patients treated with tacrolimus after kidney transplantation from January 2021 to June 2023 were retrospectively collected. Three individualized dosing tools, i.e. JPKD, SmartDose and NextDose, were used to predict the dose and plasma concentration of tacrolimus. The absolute prediction error (APE) and prediction error (PE) between the measured value and the predicted value, and prediction success rate were calculated (APE<30% indicating a good forecast). Pearson assay or Spearman assay was used to analyze the correlation between the predicted dosage and actual dosage, as well as the predicted and measured blood concentration values using three software; univariate analysis was used to investigate the influential factors for prediction accuracy of JPKD, SmartDose and NextDose. RESULTS A total of 110 hospitalized patients were included in this study, and tacrolimus doses and plasma concentrations were monitored. The predicted doses of JPKD, SmartDose and NextDose were (2.0±0.7), (2.7±1.9), (1.8±0.8) mg, their measured value was (1.9±0.6) mg, and the correlation coefficients between the predicted values and the measured value were 0.841, 0.450, 0.247 (P<0.001); the median APEs were 6.00%, 52.07% and 30.40%, and the median PEs were 5.00%, 18.50% and -3.50%; the prediction success rates were 98.45%, 30.05% and 49.22%. The predicted values of tacrolimus concentrations using JPKD, SmartDose, NextDose were (6.74±3.36), (6.93±5.02), 9.00(5.80±12.60) ng/mL, the measured value was 8.64(7.11,9.77) ng/mL, and the correlation coefficients between the predicted values and the measured value were 0.997 (P<0.001), -0.066 (P=0.360), 0.920 (P<0.001). The median APEs were 5.54%, 45.91% and 35.56%, and PEs were -4.94% (median), -17.050% (median) and 36.93% (average value); the prediction success rates were 97.93%, 32.64% and 37.31%. Univariate analysis showed that the dosage, blood concentration, body weight, transplantation time and others were related to the prediction accuracy (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The good prediction rates of tacrolimus dose and blood concentration in kidney transplant patients using three personalized drug delivery tools, from high to low, are JPKD, NextDose, and SmartDose, suggesting that JPKD can be prioritized in clinical use.

ObjectiveTo compare the effects and differences of Yiqi Liangxue Shengji Formula (益气凉血生肌方) and atorvastatin on the repair of vascular injury in rats from the perspective of metabolomics. MethodsTwenty-four male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-surgery, model, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and ator-vastatin groups, with 6 rats in each group. The rat model was established by balloon-induced abdominal aorta injury. Gavage was started on the day after surgery in all groups of rats. The sham and model groups were given with deio-nized water, TCM group received Yiqi Liangxue Shengji Formula 6 g/(kg·d), and the atorvastatin group treated with atorvastatin suspension 2 mg/(kg·d) for 4 weeks. HE staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of the injured segment of the abdominal aorta; ELISA detection was used to test serum nitric oxide (NO) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels; UPLC MS/MS technology was used for widely targeted metabolomics detection in serum, and multivariate statistical analysis was used to screen metabolic markers and pathways of two drugs; finally, compare serum levels of key metabolic markers of the above two medications in rats of each group. ResultsCompared with the sham-surgery group, the neointima significantly thickened, the level of NO decreased significantly and the level of CRP increased in serum of the model group (P<0.01); compared with the model group, the degree of arterial intimal hyperplasia in TCM group and atorvastatin group reduced, with an increase in NO levels and a decrease in CRP levels (P< 0.05 or P<0.01). The results of serum metabolomics showed that TCM group obtained 49 metabolic markers and 6 metabolic pathways, while atorvastatin group obtained 41 metabolic markers and 4 metabolic pathways. The two medications jointly regulated 38 metabolites. Glycerophospholipid metabolism and arginine-related metabolism were common metabolic pathways for both medications. Lysophosphatidylcholine (16∶1/0∶0) [LPC (16∶1/ 0∶0)], phosphatidylcholine (15∶0/15∶0) [PC (15∶0/15∶0)] were the key metabolites of glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway; ornithine, spermidine were the key metabolites of arginine-related metabolic pathway. The tricarboxylic acid cycle and glutathione metabolism were the unique metabolic pathways of Yiqi Liangxue Shengji Formula. Compared with the sham-surgery group, LPC (16∶1/0∶0), ornithine, and spermidine levels elevated and PC (15∶0/15∶0) levels decreased in the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, LPC (16∶1/0∶0), ornithine, and spermidine levels decreased, and PC (15∶0/15∶0) levels increased in both TCM group and atorvastatin group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The degree of LPC reduction (16∶1/0∶0) was more significant in atorvastatin group compared with that in the TCM group (P<0.01). ConclusionsBoth sham-surgery and atorvastatin could regulate lipid metabolism and arginine-related metabolism, exert the characteristics of lipid-lowering, anti-inflammatory, improve arginine/NO bioavailability, and improve endothelial dysfunction. Atorvastatin showed more advantages in lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory, while Yiqi Liangxue Shengji Formula has unique characteristics in regulating energy metabolism and improving oxidative stress.

ObjectiveTo retrospectively analyze the clinical efficacy of Xibining Ⅱ prescription in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis with cold-dampness blockage syndrome by oral medication and to explore the influencing factors of endpoint events. MethodA real-world retrospective cohort design was adopted, and medical records of knee osteoarthritis patients with cold-dampness blockage syndrome treated with oral medication from the orthopedics outpatient department of Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine were collected. All patients received conventional Western medicine treatment and were divided into non-exposure group (573 cases) and exposure group (427 cases) according to whether or not they received treatment with Xibining Ⅱ prescription. Descriptive analysis of the baseline data of the 1 000 screened cases was performed using IBM SPSS 27.0. According to the baseline data, 334 pairs were matched using the propensity score matching method, resulting in a total of 668 cases in both groups. The changes in visual analogous scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) total score, Japanese Knee Osteoarthritis Measure (JKOM) score, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score before treatment and at 2, 6, 12 weeks after treatment, as well as the incidence of adverse reactions, were compared between the two groups. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the influencing factors of endpoint events, with clinical cure judged based on the improvement rate of WOMAC total score before and after treatment. ResultAfter 12 weeks of treatment, compared to the results before treatment, the VAS, WOMAC total score, JKOM score, and TCM syndrome score of patients in both groups significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared to the non-exposure group, the exposure group showed a more significant reduction in VAS, WOMAC total score, JKOM score, and TCM syndrome score (P<0.01). After 12 weeks of treatment, the clinical cure rate and significant efficiency were higher in the exposure group than in the non-exposure group (P<0.05). Compared to the results before treatment within each group, VAS, WOMAC pain, stiffness, function scores, JKOM score, and TCM syndrome score significantly decreased at 2, 6, 12 weeks after treatment in both groups (P<0.01). Compared to the non-exposure group at the same time points, the exposure group showed a reduction in VAS at 2, 12 weeks, WOMAC pain at 6, 12 weeks, and function scores at 12 weeks (P<0.05, P<0.01). The JKOM score decreased at 6, 12 weeks, and the TCM syndrome score significantly decreased at 2, 6, 12 weeks in the exposure group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis at 12 weeks showed that factors affecting clinical cure included the course of disease, history of alcohol consumption, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and the use of Xibining Ⅱ prescription (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared to the non-exposure group at the same time points, the incidence of epigastric discomfort in the exposure group was lower at 2, 12 weeks (P<0.01), the incidence of diarrhea and vomiting was slightly higher than that in the non-exposure group, but the difference was not statistically significant. ConclusionThe clinical application of Xibining Ⅱ prescription combined with conventional Western medicine treatment in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis with cold-dampness blockage syndrome is more effective than conventional Western medicine treatment alone. It can significantly reduce VAS, WOMAC total score, JKOM score, and TCM syndrome score, with more pronounced long-term effects and a low incidence of adverse reactions.
