ObjectiveTo observe the inhibitory effect of sinomenine on human glioblastoma and its pharmacokinetic characteristics in glioblastoma. MethodA human glioblastoma U87 cell line stably expressing luciferase was constructed， and a mouse glioma model was established for use in both pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies. Pharmacodynamics： Model mice were randomly divided into model group and sinomenine low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （50， 100， 150 mg·kg^-1）. Sinomenine was administered intraperitoneally for 14 days. The fluorescence value of brain tumors was observed to analyze its inhibitory effect on glioblastoma proliferation. Brain tumors and the surrounding brain tissue were collected， and the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor A （VEGFA）， P-glycoprotein （P-gp）， breast cancer resistance protein （BCRP）， and Occludin were detected by Western blot. Pharmacokinetics： Mice were divided into a normal group （50 mg·kg^-1） and model groups （50， 100， 150 mg·kg^-1）. After a single intraperitoneal injection of sinomenine， extracellular fluid from brain tumors was collected in vivo by microdialysis every 15 min for 6 h. Sinomenine concentrations in the dialysate were detected by HPLC-MS/MS， and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated to analyze pharmacokinetic characteristics of sinomenine in the brain and glioblastoma. ResultCompared with model group， after 14 days of sinomenine administration， the fluorescence value of brain tumors significantly decreased （P<0.05） in a dose-dependent manner. Sinomenine inhibited the increase in VEGF and the degradation of Occludin in the tissue surrounding the tumor and inhibited the expression of VEGF， P-gp， and BCRP in glioblastoma. After a single administration， sinomenine was detected in brain and tumor tissues within 7.5 min. Compared with normal group， the C_max and AUC in the tumor significantly increased， T_max shortened （from 1.63 h to 0.71 h）， and CLz/F decreased. In the dose range of 50-150 mg·kg^-1， sinomenine exhibited a linear pharmacokinetic process in glioblastoma. ConclusionSinomenine has a significant inhibitory effect on glioblastoma， which can inhibit VEGF elevation and drug transporter efflux， reduce tumor invasion， and maintain the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. Sinomenine can rapidly cross the blood-tumor barrier， reach peak concentration， and exhibit linear pharmacokinetic characteristics in the tumor.

Objective With the widespread of transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis(AS),the life-cycle management has become a major determinant of prognosis.Methods A total of 408 AS patients who underwent successfully TAVR from June 2021 to August 2023 were consecutively enrolled in Hospital Valve Intervention Center.Patients were assigned to the Usual Care(UC)group between June 2021 and October 2022,while patients were assigned to the Heart Multi-parameter Monitoring(HMM)group between November 2022 and August 2023.The primary endpoint was defined as composite endpoint within 6 months post-TAVR,including all-cause death,cardiovascular death,stroke/transient ischemic attack,conduction block,myocardial infarction,heart failure rehospitalization,and major bleeding events.Secondary endpoints were the time interval(in hours)from event occurrence to medical consultation or advice and patient satisfaction.Statistical analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models.Results The incidence of primary endpoint in HMM group was significantly lower than that in UC group(8.9％vs.17.7％,P=0.016),the driving event was the rate of diagnosis and recognition of conduction block.The average time intervals from event occurrence to receiving medical advice were 3.02 h in HHM group vs.97.09 h in UC group(P＜0.001).Using cardiac monitoring devices and smart healthcare platforms provided significant improving in patients long-term management(HR 0.439,95％CI 0.244-0.790,P=0.006).Conclusions The utilization of cardiac monitoring devices and smart healthcare platforms effectively alerted clinical events and improved postoperative quality of life during long-term management post TAVR.

Objective:To analyze the clinical diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of the patients with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy(PDE)characterized by infantile epileptic spasm syndrome(IESS).Methods:A total of 75 PDE patients with ALDH7A1 variants were diagnosed at the Department of Pediat-rics of Peking University First Hospital and Peking University People's Hospital from July 2012 to June 2024,and five PDE patients with the phenotype of IESS were selected.The clinical manifestations,treat-ment,blood biochemistry,metabolic screening,electroencephalogram(EEG),brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),and gene testing results of the five PDE patients were analyzed.Results:Among the five patients diagnosed with PDE,three were female and two were male,and the phenotype was consistent with IESS.The age at the last follow-up was from one year and 3 months to 11 years and 9 months.All the five cases were delivered at term.Two cases had anoxia and asphyxia at birth,and three cases had normal birth history.The onset age of seizure ranged from one day to 4 months after birth.One case presented with epileptic spasms(ES),and three cases presented with focal seizure and ES.The other patient was started with ES,followed by multiple seizure types,including focal seizure and generalized tonic-clonic seizure,and developed epileptic status which caused secondary brain injury.The interictal EEG results showed hypsarrhythmia in three cases,generalized and multifocal discharges in one cases,and multifocal discharges in one case.No abnormalities were found in brain MRI in three cases,and secondary cerebral atrophy and hydrocephalus were observed in two cases during the course of the disease.Gene analysis confirmed that the five patients carried compound heterozygous variants of ALDH7A1,and two of them carried exon deletion variants.High dose pyridoxine treatment started at the end of 2 days,4 years,3 years,4 days.and 2 months after the onset of the disease.Up to the last follow-up,seizures of four cases were controlled,followed by normal EEG.One patient with brain atrophy had uncontrolled seizures and EEG remained abnormal.The neurodevelopment of the three patients were se-verely delayed,and two were mildly delayed.Conclusion:IESS could be a rare phenotype of PDE.High doses of pyridoxine can control or reduce the frequency of seizures.Delayed diagnosis and treatment,secondary brain injury,and the genotype,especially deletions variants,were associated with poor prognosis.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between genotype and clinical phenotype of the MYH7-R453C mutation in five Chinese hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) families.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 527 unrelated HCM probands who were first diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University (Xijing Hospital) from February 2014 to July 2018, and the high-throughput whole exome targeted sequencing of 96 genes related to hereditary cardiovascular disease was performed on the probands. The probands carrying the MYH7-R453C mutation were screened out, and their family members carrying the mutation were verified using Sanger sequencing. Healthy individuals without family history of genetic diseases from the same period and ethnicity were recruited as controls. Clinical data such as echocardiography, 12-lead electrocardiogram, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of the probands and their family members were collected, and the correlation between patient genotype and clinical phenotype was analyzed. Endpoint or key events were recorded through hospital re-examination or telephone follow-up.Results:The MYH7-R453C mutation was detected in 5 HCM probands, and clinical data and genetic results of 20 family members, including probands, were collected. Among them, 13 carried the MYH7-R453C mutation, of which 12 were diagnosed with HCM, and one child (F1Ⅲ 5) experienced early changes of HCM. The seven family members who did not carry the MYH7-R453C mutation had normal echocardiograms and 12-lead electrocardiograms. Among the 12 patients diagnosed with HCM, 2 experienced (F2Ⅱ 7, F5Ⅰ 2) sudden cardiac death, 2 experienced (F1Ⅲ 1, F3Ⅲ 3) events of sudden cardiac death survival, 2(F1Ⅱ 2, F3Ⅱ 1) died from heart failure during the follow-up period. Combined with the initial visit and follow-up, 4 families (F1, F2, F3, F5) had a family history of sudden death, among which 3 families probands or multiple family members experiencing sudden death before the age of 30 and adverse outcomes such as implantation of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators after sudden death survival. Conclusions:In the five families with HCM carrying MYH7-R453C mutations, genotype is highly correlated with clinical phenotype, and patients have a high risk of sudden death and poor prognosis. Early diagnosis of individuals carrying the MYH7-R453C gene mutation, both within the patient′s family and in the patients themselves, is crucial for initiating early treatment, preventing sudden death, and assessing prognosis.

With the development of genetics and advances in genetic testing technology,the demand for cancer genetic counseling has increased dramatically.Advanced practice nurses play a key role in personalized health care delivery.The oncology genetic nurse-led genetic counseling services in foreign countries are becoming more and more mature,but in China,the work of oncology genetic counseling started late,and the combination of genetics/genomics with nursing is still in its infancy.There is still a lack of relevant research on oncology genetic nurses.This article introduced the qualification certification,core competence and clinical practice content of foreign oncology genetic nurses,and summarized the clinical practice effect of oncology genetic nurses and the enlightenment to China's advanced nursing practice,which provided references for the construction of oncology genetic nurses training programs and clinical service models suitable for China's national conditions,so as to meet the needs of the development of advanced nursing practice and the growing demand for precision oncology and high-quality genetic medical care.

Non-communicable diseases(NCDs),including cardiovascular diseases,cancer,metabolic diseases,and skeletal diseases,pose significant challenges to public health worldwide.The complex pathogenesis of these diseases is closely linked to oxidative stress and inflammatory damage.Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2),a critical transcription factor,plays an important role in regulating antioxidant and anti-inflammatory responses to protect the cells from oxidative damage and inflammation-mediated injury.Therefore,Nrf2-targeting therapies hold promise for preventing and treating NCDs.Quercetin(Que)is a widely available flavonoid that has significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.It modulates the Nrf2 signaling pathway to ameliorate oxidative stress and inflammation.Que modulates mitochondrial function,apoptosis,autophagy,and cell damage biomarkers to regulate oxidative stress and inflammation,highlighting its efficacy as a therapeutic agent against NCDs.Here,we discussed,for the first time,the close association between NCD pathogenesis and the Nrf2 signaling pathway,involved in neurodegenerative diseases(NDDs),cardiovascular disease,cancers,organ damage,and bone damage.Furthermore,we reviewed the availability,pharmacokinetics,pharmaceutics,and therapeutic applica-tions of Que in treating NCDs.In addition,we focused on the challenges and prospects for its clinical use.Que represents a promising candidate for the treatment of NCDs due to its Nrf2-targeting properties.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of the common pathogens isolated from urine from 2015 to 2021 in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program.Methods The bacterial strains were isolated from urine and identified routinely in 51 hospitals across China in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by Kirby-Bauer method,automatic microbiological analysis system and E-test according to the unified protocol.Results A total of 261 893 nonduplicate strains were isolated from urine specimen from 2015 to 2021,of which gram-positive bacteria accounted for 23.8％(62 219/261 893),and gram-negative bacteria 76.2％(199 674/261 893).The most common species were E.coli(46.7％),E.faecium(10.4％),K.pneumoniae(9.8％),E.faecalis(8.7％),P.mirabilis(3.5％),P.aeruginosa(3.4％),SS.agalactiae(2.6％),and E.cloacae(2.1％).The strains were more frequently isolated from inpatients versus outpatients and emergency patients,from females versus males,and from adults versus children.The prevalence of ESBLs-producing strains in E.coli,K.pneumoniae and P.mirabilis was 53.2％,52.8％and 37.0％,respectively.The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant strains in E.coli,K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii was 1.7％,18.5％,16.4％,and 40.3％,respectively.Lower than 10％of the E.faecalis isolates were resistant to ampicillin,nitrofurantoin,linezolid,vancomycin,teicoplanin and fosfomycin.More than 90％of the E.faecium isolates were ressitant to ampicillin,levofloxacin and erythromycin.The percentage of strains resistant to vancomycin,linezolid or teicoplanin was＜2％.The E.coli,K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa and A.baumannii strains isolated from ICU inpatients showed significantly higher resistance rates than the corresponding strains isolated from outpatients and non-ICU inpatients.Conclusions E.coli,Enterococcus and K.pneumoniae are the most common pathogens in urinary tract infection.The bacterial species and antimicrobial resistance of urinary isolates vary with different populations.More attention should be paid to antimicrobial resistance surveillance and reduce the irrational use of antimicrobial agents.

Objective To understand the distribution and changing resistance profiles of clinical isolates of Enterococcus in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted for the clinical isolates of Enterococcus according to the unified protocol of CHINET program by automated systems,Kirby-Bauer method,or E-test strip.The results were interpreted according to the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints in 2021.WHONET 5.6 software was used for statistical analysis.Results A total of 124 565 strains of Enterococcus were isolated during the 7-year period,mainly including Enterococcus faecalis(50.7％)and Enterococcus faecalis(41.5％).The strains were mainly isolated from urinary tract specimens(46.9％±2.6％),and primarily from the patients in the department of internal medicine,surgery and ICU.E.faecium and E.faecalis strains showed low level resistance rate to vancomycin,teicoplanin and linezolid(≤3.6％).The prevalence of vancomycin-resistant E.faecalis and E.faecium was 0.1％and 1.3％,respectively.The prevalence of linezolid-resistant E.faecalis increased from 0.7％in 2015 to 3.4％in 2021,while the prevalence of linezolid-resistant E.faecium was 0.3％.Conclusions The clinical isolates of Enterococcus were still highly susceptible to vancomycin,teicoplanin,and linezolid,evidenced by a low resistance rate.However,the prevalence of linezolid-resistant E.faecalis was increasing during the 7-year period.It is necessary to strengthen antimicrobial resistance surveillance to effectively identify the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and curb the spread of resistant pathogens.

Objective To examine the changing antimicrobial resistance profile of Enterobacter spp.isolates in 53 hospitals across China from 2015 t0 2021.Methods The clinical isolates of Enterobacter spp.were collected from 53 hospitals across China during 2015-2021 and tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using Kirby-Bauer method or automated testing systems according to the CHINET unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints issued by the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2021(M100 31st edition)and analyzed with WHONET 5.6 software.Results A total of 37 966 Enterobacter strains were isolated from 2015 to 2021.The proportion of Enterobacter isolates among all clinical isolates showed a fluctuating trend over the 7-year period,overall 2.5％in all clinical isolates amd 5.7％in Enterobacterale strains.The most frequently isolated Enterobacter species was Enterobacter cloacae,accounting for 93.7％(35 571/37 966).The strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(44.4±4.6)％,followed by secretions/pus(16.4±2.3)％and urine(16.0±0.9)％.The strains from respiratory samples decreased slightly,while those from sterile body fluids increased over the 7-year period.The Enterobacter strains were mainly isolated from inpatients(92.9％),and only(7.1±0.8)％of the strains were isolated from outpatients and emergency patients.The patients in surgical wards contributed the highest number of isolates(24.4±2.9)％compared to the inpatients in any other departement.Overall,≤ 7.9％of the E.cloacae strains were resistant to amikacin,tigecycline,polymyxin B,imipenem or meropenem,while ≤5.6％of the Enterobacter asburiae strains were resistant to these antimicrobial agents.E.asburiae showed higher resistance rate to polymyxin B than E.cloacae(19.7％vs 3.9％).Overall,≤8.1％of the Enterobacter gergoviae strains were resistant to tigecycline,amikacin,meropenem,or imipenem,while 10.5％of these strains were resistant to polycolistin B.The overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter was 10.0％over the 7-year period,but showing an upward trend.The resistance profiles of Enterobacter isolates varied with the department from which they were isolated and whether the patient is an adult or a child.The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant E.cloacae was the highest in the E.cloacae isolates from ICU patients.Conclusions The results of the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program indicate that the proportion of Enterobacter strains in all clinical isolates fluctuates slightly over the 7-year period from 2015 to 2021.The Enterobacter strains showed increasing resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs,especially carbapenems over the 7-year period.
