OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of manipulation of Imipenem and cisplatin sodium (ICS) for injection on the consistency of its main drug imipenem (IPN) content, and the stability of different concentrations of ICS solution, to provide a reference for the safe and effective use of ICS in children. METHODS Three operators prepared ICS solutions according to the two commonly used dosage methods for children (10 mL or 20 mL 0.9% Sodium chloride injection to prepare the initial ICS solution and draw the required dose from the initial suspension). The content of IPN was determined by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry after parallel processing. The content consistency of solutions in each group was determined according to the coefficient of variation (CV)<15% of the IPN content. ICS test solution X1 was prepared according to the instructions, and then test solutions X2 and X3 were prepared by diluting X1 with 0.9% Sodium chloride injection in the volume ratios of 1∶1 and 1∶2, which were stored at room temperature ([ 23.0±0.5) ℃], in a thermostatic water bath at 30 ℃, and in a refrigerator at 2-8 ℃. The stability of the drug solution was determined by the ratio of the IPN mass concentration measured at the specified temperature and time to the initial (0 h) mass concentration (if the ratio was≥90%, it was considered that the drug solution was stable). RESULTS CV of IPN content was <15% in each group of solutions prepared with two manipulation methods by each operator, indicating a small deviation in IPN content. The solutions at the three concentration levels were stable at room temperature for 6 h or refrigerated for 18 h. The test solutions X1 and X2 were also stable when placed at 30 ℃ for 6 h, but the IPN concentration in test solution X3 decreased by about 20% compared with that of 0 h. CONCLUSIONS The consistency of the content of IPN is good in the two commonly used methods for ICS manipulation in children. The stability of ICS solution is affected by concentration, temperature and time. Lower concentrations at higher temperatures resulted in decreased stability of IPN. Clinical attention should be paid to controlling the amount of solvent as well as temperature and time during preparation and use.

Multiple myeloma(MM)is a malignant proliferative disease of plasma cells,ranking as the second most common hematologic tu-mor.Although the use of proteasome inhibitors and immunotherapeutic regimens has improved the prognosis of patients with MM,it re-mains incurable in most patients,mainly because of the eventual development of drug resistance in MM cells.Myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs)are a heterogeneous group of cells causing significant suppression of the T-cell immune response.They arise from bone mar-row myeloid progenitor cells that are blocked from differentiation and promote MM development by resisting immune destruction.Recent studies indicate that MDSCs stimulate MM cell proliferation,inducing drug resistance and metastasis.In this paper,we review multiple mechanisms exhibited by MDSCs in MM pathogenesis and discuss the feasibility and challenges of current therapeutic strategies targeting MDSCs,aiming to provide pertinent references regarding MM treatment.

OBJECTIVE To establish the quality control method of Flueggea suffruticosa. METHODS The microscopical identification and thin layer chromatography (TLC) of F. suffruticosa were carried out, and the mass fractions of moisture, total ash, acid-insoluble ash and alcohol-soluble extracts in F. suffruticosa were measured based on the 2020 version of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (part Ⅳ). The content of securinine in medicinal materials was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS The powder of F. suffruticosa was gray-green, with obvious microscopic characteristics such as pores, pollen grains, calcium oxalate cluster crystals, ducts. The results of TLC identification showed that in the chromatograms of 16 batches of medicinal samples, the same color spots were found on the corresponding positions of the chromatograms of securinine, rutin, quercetin and F. suffruticosa control. The average mass fractions of moisture, total ash, acid-insoluble ash and alcohol- soluble extracts in 16 batches of medicinal materials were 9.26%, 6.96%, 1.17% and 28.89%, respectively. The injection volume of securinine in the range of 0.052 4-0.524 0 µg had a good linear relationship with the peak area (R2=0.999 8). RSDs of precision, repeatability and stability (24 h) test were all less than 3% (n=6 or 7). The average recovery of sample was 97.47%, RSD was 1.63% (n=6). The content of securinine in 16 batches of medicinal materials was 1.003-6.872 mg/g. CONCLUSIONS The quality control method of F. suffruticosa is established, and the mass fractions of moisture, total ash and acid-insoluble ash should not exceed 12.0%, 9.0% and 2.0%, respectively; the alcohol-soluble extract should not be less than 20%, and the content of securinine should not be less than 1.00 mg/g.

Objective:To explore the application effect of situation comedy teaching combined with peer teaching in clinical practice teaching of undergraduate nursing students.Methods:A total of 96 undergraduate nursing students who practiced in a first-class hospital at grade 3 in 2019 were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, with 48 nursing students in each group. The control group adopted clinical teaching mode, including group theory teaching and group operation demonstration. On the basis of this, the observation group additionally adopted the clinical teaching mode of situation comedy teaching combined with peer teaching. The differences between the two groups in the assessment of nursing knowledge and skills assessment, independent learning ability and teaching satisfaction were observed. SPSS 20.0 software was used for t-test. Results:After the implementation of clinical teaching, the scores of nursing comprehensive ability of nursing students in the observation group (87.71 ± 5.11) were higher than those in the control group (78.47±6.24) ( P < 0.05). The independent learning ability of nursing students in the observation group (98.80±10.61) was significantly higher than that in the control group (74.47±9.83), and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). The score of teaching satisfaction in the observation group (2.83±7.07) was significantly higher than that in the control group (50.17±6.75), and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:The application of situation domedy teaching combined with peer teaching in the clinical teaching of undergraduate nursing students can improve their independent learning ability and clinical practice ability. Meanwhile, the process of teachers and students participating in situational experience and peer analysis and discussion can increase the teacher-student interaction, and improve the satisfaction of nursing students with clinical teaching.

Objective:This study aimed to explore the application of interaction-dependent fucosyl-biotinylation (FucoID), a chemical biology-based proximity labeling technique, in capturing tumor antigen-specific T cells and its clinical value in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) .Methods:Flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy were employed to evaluate the experimental parameters for FucoID in CML. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 14 newly diagnosed CML patients in the chronic phase. These samples underwent flow cytometry-based sorting and were subsequently labeled with FucoID to facilitate the isolation of tumor cells and T cells, followed by the immunophenotypic identification of tumor antigen-specific T cells. Finally, the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of FucoID in CML was assessed.Results:Initially, the experimental parameters for FucoID in CML were established. The proportion of CD3 + T cells in patients was (8.96±6.47) %, exhibiting a marked decrease compared with that in healthy individuals at (38.89±22.62) %. The proportion of tumor-specific antigen-reactive T cells was (3.34±4.49) %, which demonstrated interpatient variability. In addition, the proportion of tumor-specific antigen-active T cells in CD4 + T cells was (3.95±1.72) %, which was generally lower than the proportion in CD8 + T cells at (5.68±2.18) %. Compared with those in tumor-specific antigen-nonreactive T cells, CCR7 -CD45RA - effector memory T cells and CCR7 -CD45RA + effector T cells were highly enriched in tumor-specific antigen-reactive T cells. Moreover, the intensity of tumor immune reactivity in patients exhibited a significant correlation with white blood cell count (WBC) and hemoglobin (HGB) levels in peripheral blood, while no such correlation was observed with other clinical baseline characteristics. Conclusion:The combination of FucoID and flow cytometry enables the rapid identification and isolation of tumor antigen-specific T cells in CML. The successful application of this method in CML and the implications of our findings suggest its potential clinical value in the field of hematologic malignancies.
