[Objective]To explore the regulatory mechanism of hypoxia exposure on carbon metabolism pathway in spleen of mice.[Methods]C57BL/6 mice were raised at altitudes of 400 m and 4 200 m,with 5 mice in each group.After 30 days,spleen tissues were aseptically removed for analysis of differentially expressed genes,proteins,and metabolites using transcriptome sequencing,proteomics,and non-targeted metabolomics.GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were conducted to explore key pathways.The key genes and protein in the pathway were validated by RT-qPCR and Western blot.[Results]Transcriptome sequencing revealed a significant difference in the expression of 4 213 genes in hypoxic exposure,of which 1 947 were up-regulated and 2 266 were down-regulated.The analysis of differentially expressed proteins showed that 166 proteins were up-regulated and 39 proteins were down-regulated.The results of non-targeted metabolomics showed that 133 different metabolites were screened under high altitude hypoxia condition,of which 95 were up-regulated and 38 were down-regulated.KEGG enrichment analysis showed that differentially expressed genes,differentially expressed proteins and differentially expressed metabolites were enriched into the carbon metabolic pathway.Therefore,the key genes and proteins in the carbon metabolic pathway were verified.The mRNA and protein expressions of PGAM2、ENO3、PRPS2、PGLS、RPE、IDH3A、SUCLA2 and MDH2 were significantly down-regulated in the carbon metabolism pathway.[Conclusion]Low oxygen environment at high altitude weakens glycolysis,tricarboxylic acid cycle and pentose phosphate pathway by inhibiting the carbon metabolism pathway of the body,resulting in oxidative stress and energy metabolism imbalance.

Objective To analyze the diagnosis and treatment process of a pediatric patient with Crohn's disease(CD)who was treated with multiple biological agents,and to provide a reference for the treatment and pharmaceutical care.Methods The diagnosis and treatment process of the pediatric patient's disease was analyzed.Drug treatment plans were evaluated through literature research to identify the entry points for pharmaceutical care and medication guidance.Results Clinical pharmacist monitored the pediatric patient's adalimumab maintenance dose,efficacy,and adverse reactions through therapeutic drug monitoring.They recommended clinical adjustments to the maintenance dose of biological agents,so that the pediatric patients could benefit from multiple aspects such as efficacy,safety,and economy.Conclusion Clinical pharmacists should follow up with pediatric patients with CD,and pay attention to medication compliance and adverse reactions in those using biological agents.
