Kounis syndrome is an acute coronary syndrome triggered by an allergic reaction, which is clinically rare and frequently subject to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. This article presents a case report of a 70-year-old male patient who developed a rash, pruritus, and chest pain following colon polyp resection. Coronary angiography revealed occlusion of the left anterior descending artery, and blood flow was restored after stent implantation. However, the patient experienced recurrent symptoms accompanied by loss of consciousness. Drug skin tests confirmed positive reactions to chlorhexidine and fondaparinux sodium, leading to a diagnosis of type Ⅱ Kounis syndrome. By avoiding allergenic drugs and combining antihistamines with symptomatic treatment to correct myocardial ischemia, the patient′s clinical symptoms significantly improved, and he eventually recovered and was discharged from the hospital. This case underscores the importance of maintaining vigilance for this syndrome in patients with allergies accompanied by chest pain and promptly identifying and avoiding allergens.

Bispecific antibodies have shown significant efficacy in tumor therapy due to their dual targeting ability, but the complexity of their structure leads to the production of various process-related impurities such as host cell proteins, host cell DNA, and Protein A, and product-related impurities such as semi antibodies, 3/4 antibodies, homodimers, bispecific antibodies lacking one Fab arm, and aggregates during the manufacturing process. This paper systematically summarizes downstream purification strategies for dual antibodies, including affinity chromatography, deep filtration, hydroxyapatite chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, and multimodal chromatography, to efficiently remove various impurities and provide theoretical support for the purification of dual antibodies.

Neuraxial opioids, widely used in obstetric and perioperative pain management, often lead to unwanted itch, reducing patient satisfaction. While the μ-opioid receptor has been implicated in opioid-induced itch, the genetic basis for variable itch incidence remains unknown. This study examined 3616 patients receiving epidural opioids, revealing an itch occurrence of 26.55%, with variations among opioid types and gender. Analysis of the OPRM1 gene identified six single-nucleotide polymorphisms, notably rs1799971 (A118G), that correlated with opioid-induced itch. Mouse models with an equivalent A112G mutation showed reduced neuraxial opioid-induced itch and light touch-evoked itch, mirroring human findings. The 118G allele demonstrated an anti-itch effect without impacting analgesia, addiction, or tolerance, offering insights for risk stratification and potential anti-itch pretreatment strategies.

Objective:To explore the impact of parenting style on social anxiety among college students, and examine the mediating effect of core self-evaluation.Methods:From November 2022 to January 2023, a total of 1 126 college students in Harbin were taken as research subjects.Interaction anxiousness scale(IAS), short-egna minnen betraffende upfostran-Chinese(s-EMBU-C) and core self-evaluations scale(CSES) were used for analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software for correlation analysis and analysis of variance.AMOS 27.0 software was used for mediation effect test.Results:Social anxiety (42.31±8.23) was negatively correlated with positive parenting style (5.44±1.45) ( r=-0.072, P<0.05) and core self-evaluation (32.12±6.01) ( r=-0.350, P<0.01), while positively correlated with negative parenting style (7.40±1.74)( r=0.302, P<0.01). Core self-evaluation was positively correlated with positive parenting style ( r=0.362, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with negative parenting style ( r=-0.346, P<0.01).Parent parenting styles had a significant mean direct effect on social anxiety of college students ( βpositive=0.098, βnegtive=0.222).Mediation analyses indicated that core self-evaluation played a masking role between positive parenting styles and social anxiety, with an absolute value of 90.82% for the ratio of indirect(-0.089) to direct effects(0.098).Core self-evaluation had partial mediating effect on negative parenting styles, with direct effect and indirect effect accounting for 73.03% and 26.97% of the total effect, respectively. Conclusion:Parenting style can either directly affect college students' social anxiety or indirectly through the mediating effect of core self-evaluations, with core self-evaluations playing a masking role in the positive parenting styles pathway.

OBJECTIVE To further improve the rational drug use control mechanism based on performance appraisal， explore new paths of pharmaceutical care and promote the rational clinical drug use management to deepen development. METHODS The reform of pharmaceutical management system in our hospital was performed through implementing the “ten-point system of prescription behavior management”， supplemented by the two carriages of “strengthening prescription review” and “standardizing clinical medication”. By implementing a number of auxiliary measures such as man-machine integration pre-prescription review， improving pharmacists’ prescription review ability， optimizing prescription review mechanism in real time， regulating physicians’ off-label drug use behavior， and improving drug evaluation mechanism， pre-control and in-process intervention were completed. The evaluation results were incorporated into performance assessment by referring to the “ten-point system of prescription behavior management”， so as to realize multi-dimensional and fully closed-loop rational drug use management. The effects of management were evaluated by comparing the statistical results of related indexes before and after the management. RESULTS Compared with before management， irrational rate of prescriptions and medical orders in our hospital in 2022 decreased significantly， compared to the same period in 2020； the irrational rate of inpatient medical orders decreased from 5.00% in 2020 to 2.69% in 2022， and that of outpatient prescriptions decreased from 4.59% to 2.48%； the frequency of communication between clinical pharmacists and physicians increased； the times of clinical consultations increased from 16 to 58， and doctors’ acceptance of intervention for irrational drug use had improved from 52％ to 87％ ； physicians had a deeper understanding and recognition of clinical pharmaceutical care， the awareness of clinical rational drug use had been significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS The rational drug use control mechanism guided by performance appraisal further standardizes the issuance of prescriptions and medical orders， and makes physician-pharmacist cooperation more prominent， so as to realize the closed-loop pharmaceutical management of “pre- review， in-process supervision and post-evaluation”， and promote rational drug use in clinical practice.

Objective:To evaluate the application value of patient-based real-time quality control (PBRTQC) algorithms in intralaboratory comparison between various hematology analyzers.Method:From April 1 st 2020 to March 31 th 2021, data of white blood cell (WBC) counts and daily comparison results of fresh venous blood, measured by five hematology analyzers, were collected at the Department of Laboratory Medicine in Hebei Children′s Hospital. First, the professional intelligent PBRTQC software system was applied to conduct the parameter setting, program establishment, and performance verification. Three concentration ranges of WBC were selected, low concentration (2.5-4.5)×10 9/L, medium concentration (6.0-8.0)×10 9/L and high concentration (12.0-14.0)×10 9/L for the comparison. Next, WBC counts were calculated with both of the EWMA and median methods, the results were then analyzed by PBRTQC using the module of"intralaboratory comparison of hematology analyzers". Finally, bias of intralaboratory comparison among various hematology analyzers analyzed by means of EWMA and daily comparison results of fresh venous blood were compared. Based on the standard of WS/T 406-2012,allowable error ±7.50% in WBC counts was set as the relative bias standard among different instruments. Results:(1) A total of 38 313 sample results were included, there were 70 warning results out of these samples based on the EWMA quality control method established on the data of patients with white blood cell count in our laboratory, with an early warning rate of 0.183‰, a probability of error detection of 100%, and a probability of false loss of control of 0. EWMA quality control efficiency met the quality objectives. (2) In the comparison monitoring of the results of 5 blood cell analyzers at high concentrations, the coincidence rate between EWMA and median method were both 100% (46/46) in weekly and monthly comparison, and EWMA could maintain a relatively stable monitoring efficiency in daily comparison. (3) In the selected natural month, the consistency rate between EWMA method and fresh blood comparison method was 95.24% (20/21).Conclusion:PBRTQC can be used as a valuable supplementary tool of IQC to continuously and effectively monitor the consistency of data derived from intralaboratory hematology analyzers with different bands and types, which can not only reduce the risk of quality and operating costs, but also improve the efficiency of laboratory management.
