OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the incidence of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury （ATB-DILI） and its risk factors. METHODS PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， Web of Science， China Knowledge Network， VIP， Wanfang data and China Biomedical Literature Database were searched to collect cohort studies and case-control studies on the incidence and risk factors of ATB-DILI from the establishment of the database to 31 May 2024. After screening literature， extracting data and evaluating the quality of literature， meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 and RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 26 literature involving 38 971 patients were included， of which 4 106 patients suffered from ATB-DILI. Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of ATB-DILI was 12.94% [95%CI （10.82%，15.06%）， P＜0.001]； subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of ATB-DILI in cohort studies， Chinese studies and pediatric patients was higher （P＜0.001）. Age≥60 years， abnormal body mass index， alcoholism， smoking， history of liver disease， hepatitis B surface antigen positivity， extrapulmonary tuberculosis， malnutrition， hypoproteinemia， cardiovascular disease， diabetes mellitus， systemic lupus erythematosus， no prophylactic use of hepatoprotective drugs， and high baseline alanine transaminase levels were risk factors for developing ATB-DILI （P＜0.05）. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis showed that the results obtained in this study were relatively robust. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of ATB-DILI in tuberculosis patients is 12.94%. Age≥60 years， abnormal body mass index， alcoholism， smoking， history of liver disease， hepatitis B surface antigen positivity， extrapulmonary tuberculosis， malnutrition， hypoproteinaemia， cardiovascular disease， diabetes mellitus， systemic lupus erythematosus， non-prophylactic use of hepatoprotective medications， and high baseline levels of alanine transaminase are the risk factors for developing ATB-DILI.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs combined with linezolid in treatment of children with tuberculous meningitis (TBM).Methods:A retrospective cohort study design was performed . Eight-nine Children diagnosed as TBM during January 1 st 2016 and December 31 st 2023 in Department of Infectious Disease, Children′s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were enrolled in the study. According to different treatment regimens, children were divided into a group of first-line anti-tuberculous drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol (HRZE)) and a group of HRZE and linezolid combination (HRZEL). The efficacy and safety of the 2 regimens were compared and the relationship between linezolid drug concentration and adverse reactions were analyzed. Comparisons between groups were performed using χ2 test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The 89 children with TBM included 53 males and 36 females with an onset age of 4.6 (1.4, 9.6) years. There were 27 cases in the HZREL group and 62 cases in the HRZE group. Before treatment, positive rate of interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA) in HRZEL group was lower than that in HRZE group (64% (16/25) vs.92% (55/60), χ2=9.82, P<0.05), but protein level of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was higher than that in HRZE group (1.2 (1.0, 2.0) vs.0.8 (0.4,1.4) g/L, Z=0.32, P<0.05). By the end of the intensive phase, there were no significant differences of rates of CSF improvement and etiology negativity between HRZEL group and HRZE group (both P>0.05).The 44 TBM children with high CSF protein (>1 g/L) included 25 males and 19 females with an onset age of 6.7 (3.0, 11.8) years. There were 21 cases in the HZREL group and 23 cases in the HRZE group accordingly. Before treatment, there were no significant differences of positive rate of IGRA test and CSF protein level between the 2 groups (62% (13/21) vs. 87% (20/23), 1.7 (1.1, 2.2) vs. 1.5 (1.2, 1.9) g/L, χ2=3.67, Z=0.23, both P>0.05). There were no significant differences in CSF indicators, etiology negativity or imaging remission between the two groups by the end of intensive phase (all P>0.05). Higher frequencies of granulocytopenia, gastrointestinal symptoms as well as withdrawal or change of drugs were found in HRZEL group when compared to those in HRZE group (44% (12/27) vs. 19% (12/62), 7% (2/27) vs. 0, 33% (9/27) vs. 3% (2/62), χ2=6.01, 4.70, 15.74, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of HRZEL regimen is similar to conventional HRZE regimen in children with TBM, but with higher adverse effect. Prudentially evaluating the pros and cons of linezolid in the usage of drug-susceptible TB and carefully monitoring of linezolid associated adverse effects is suggested.

Objective To explore the application value of simultaneous multi-slice(SMS)technique in diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)for evaluating brain glioma.Methods Thirty-four brain glioma patients were prospectively enrolled,and brain conventional DTI and SMS-DTI were acquired.The subjective scores of image quality,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)were compared between SMS-DTI and conventional DTI,so were the numbers of whole brain fiber bundles,tumor relative fractional anisotropy(rFA)and relative mean diffusivity(rMD)obtained based on SMS-DTI and conventional DTI.Results Among 34 patients,there were 23 cases of high-grade glioma and 11 cases of low-grade glioma.No significant difference of subjective scores of image quality,tumor edge clarity nor magnetic susceptibility artifacts was found between SMS-DTI and conventional DTI(all P＞0.05).SNR and CNR on SMS-DTI were both lower than those on conventional DTI(both P＜0.05).No significant difference of the numbers of whole brain fiber bundles,rFA nor rMD of gliomas with different pathological grades was detected based on SMS-DTI compared with those on conventional DTI(all P＞0.05).Conclusion SMS applicated in DTI for evaluating brain gliomas was able to shorten acquisition time under the condition of ensuring image quality and quantitative analysis accuracy.

H 1-antihistamines are widely used in the treatment of various allergic diseases, but there are still many challenges in the safe and rational use of H 1-antihistamines in pediatrics, and there is a lack of guidance on the prescription review of H 1-antihistamines for children.In this paper, suggestions are put forward from the indications, dosage, route of administration, pathophysiological characteristics of children with individual difference and drug interactions, so as to provide reference for clinicians and pharmacists.

Anti-seizure medications (ASMs) are the main therapy for epilepsy.There are many kinds of ASMs with complex mechanism of action, so it is difficult for pharmacists to examine prescriptions.This paper put forward some suggestions on the indications, dosage forms/routes of administration, appropriateness of usage and dosage, combined medication and drug interaction, long-term prescription review, individual differences in pathophysiology of children, and drug selection when complicated with common epilepsy, for the reference of doctors and pharmacists.

Glioblastoma (GBM), characterized by rapid progression, easy recurrence and treatment resistance, is the most aggressive and lethal tumor of the central nervous system. Adenovirus E1A binding protein p300 (p300) serves rich functions as transcriptional coactivator and lysine acetyltransferase. Studies have shown that p300 plays an important role in the occurrence, proliferation, invasion and resistance to chemoradiotherapy of GBM. This paper reviews the structure and function of p300, and systematically expounds its various ways participating in GBM development and its translational perspectives, so as to provide references for GBM study.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To retrospectively analyze the efficacy and safety of pamidronate disodium(APD) in the treatment of osteogenic imperfecta(OI) in children. METHODS Children who first used APD at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2023 were selected as the research subjects. The growth and development status, improvement of bone metabolism and biochemical indicators, changes in bone density(BMD) and fractures, and occurrence of adverse drug reactions(ADRs) before and after treatment were compared. RESULTS A total of 14 pediatric patients were included, with a median age of 5.16 years. All children, regardless of the duration of treatment(1, 2 years, 3 years or more), showed significant improvements in height, body mass, and lumbar BMD compared to before treatment, while the average number of fractures per year decreased significantly(P<0.05). After 1 year of treatment, the alkaline phosphatase significantly increased(P=0.024). After 2 years of treatment, the total 25-hydroxyvitamin D3(T-25OHD3) significantly improved(P=0.014). After 3 years of treatment, the Z-value of height significantly improved(P=0.036). The most common ADR were fever, skeletal muscle pain, asymptomatic hypocalcemia and hypophosphatemia. CONCLUSION Pediatric patients with OI have good tolerance to APD treatment, with increased lumbar BMD and BMD Z values, reduced fracture rates, and improved growth and development.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Linezolid(LZD) is a synthetic oxazolidone antibacterial drug that has activity against most Gram positive bacteria. LZD is widely used in pediatric patients, and its common adverse reactions include gastrointestinal reactions and bone marrow suppression, etc. In recent years, LZD-induced hyperlactatemia has gradually attracted attention. LZD-induced hyperlactatemia can exacerbate the condition of pediatric patients and is associated with high mortality rates in children. However, there is currently a lack of data on the risk factors for LZD-induced hyperlactatemia in pediatric patients. METHODS Therefore, this paper collected and retrospectively analyzed the information of hospitalized pediatric patients who received LZD treatment at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from October 2012 to February 2023, including demographic characteristics of pediatric patients and clinical treatment related records, etc. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, this paper identified whether the included pediatric patients had developed hyperlactatemia and evaluated the causal relationship between LZD and hyperlactatemia using the Naranjo's Scale. The risk factors were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression, and the dose-response relationship between risk factors and LZD-induced hyperlactatemia was further analyzed using a restricted cubic spline(RCS) model. RESULTS A total of 331 pediatric patients were included, of which 145 pediatric patients(43.8%) developed LZD-induced hyperlactatemia, including 122 cases of mild hyperlactatemia and 23 cases of severe hyperlactatemia; the causal relationship score of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia was “possibly related” in 87 cases(60.0%) and “highly likely related” in 58 cases(40.0%). The median age of pediatric patients was 3(0.92, 9) years old, with 55.29% males, 25.38% patients with liver disease, 8.76% pediatric patients with kidney disease, and 36.56% pediatric patients with cardiovascular disease; the median number of treatment days for pediatric patients receiving LZD was 13(8, 22) d, with pediatric patients with hyperlactatemia having a longer median number of LZD treatment days than those without hyperlactatemia[16(10, 28) vs 11(7, 18)]; 41.09% of pediatric patients used P-glycoprotein inducers in combination, with more pediatric patients(57.4%) experiencing hyperlactatemia; 53.47% of pediatric patients used P-glycoprotein inhibitors in combination; the median values of lactic acid baseline, creatinine baseline, and baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) were 0.92(0.80, 0.92)mmol·L-1, 26(18.25, 34.90) μmol·L-1, 179.97(137.23, 222.70)mL·min-1·(1.73 m)-2, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pediatric patients received longer LZD treatment duration(OR=1.026, P=0.004), and the combination of P-glycoprotein inducers(OR=2.023, P=0.004), higher lactic acid baseline levels(OR=2.408, P=0.022), and lower eGFR(OR=0.997, P=0.047) were independent risk factors for LZD-induced hyperlactatemia. The RCS model showed that as the number of days of LZD treatment increases, the risk of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia increased nonlinearly(P-non-linear=0.041); when the lactic acid baseline value was -1, the risk of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia dramatically increased as the lactic acid baseline value increased, when it was >0.92 mmol·L-1, the risk of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia slowly increased as the lactic acid baseline value increased(P-non-linear=0.013). CONCLUSION This study explores for the first time the risk factors of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia in pediatric patients, including the impact of the interaction between LZD and drugs that affect mitochondrial function, P-glycoprotein inducers, and P-glycoprotein inhibitors on hyperlactatemia. RCS models are used to analyze the dose-response relationships between LZD treatment days, lactic acid baseline values, and the occurrence of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia. When LZD is combined with P-glycoprotein inducers(mainly isoniazid, rifampicin, and ethambutol), the risk of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia increases, and its related mechanisms still need further research. In addition, pediatric patients with renal insufficiency may need to adjust the LZD dosage appropriately to avoid the occurrence of hyperlactatemia. In conclusion, when pediatric patients receive LZD treatment, attention should be paid to risk factors such as lactic acid baseline value, duration of LZD use, combined use of P-glycoprotein inducers, and renal dysfunction, in order to prevent the occurrence of LZD-induced hyperlactatemia based on the pediatric patient's treatment needs.

OBJECTIVE To detect and evaluate the signals of amlodipine and lercanidipine -induced adverse drug events （ADE）. METHODS All ADE reports about “amlodipine”and“lercanidipine”were searched from FAERS database during Jan . 1st，2004 to Sept . 30th，2021. Reported odds ratio and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network were used to detect ADE signals. The moderately strong signals and strong signals in key systems were selected for analysis . RESULTS From FAERS database，249 657 and 10 558 reports were extracted with amlodipine and lercanidipine as suspect drugs ，respectively. In this study，62 and 58 signals related to amlodipine and lercanidipine were detected respectively . At the same time ，moderately strong signals of peripheral edema ， hypotension， orthostatic hypotension and hypovolemic shock were detected in the twodrugs，all of which were common adverse reactions of the two drugs. The special ADEs detected in this study were as follows： in the respiratory system ， chest and mediastinaldisease system ，strong signals of non -cardiogenic pulmonary edema were detected for amlodipine ，and strong signals of dyspnea at rest for lercanidipine ；in gastrointestinal diseases ，strong signals of gingival hypertrophy were detected only for amlodipine；in skin and subcutaneous tissue disease system ，moderately strong signals related to “vasculitis”were detected for both drugs，moderately strong signals related to linear IgA disease were detected for amlodipine ，and moderately strong signals related to bullous dermatitis were detected for lercanidipine ；in the renal and urinary system disease system ，the signals of acute renal injury were detected for both drugs （amlodipine was detected as a moderately strong signal ，and lecardipine was detected as a strong signal ）； in the mental system ，moderately strong signals related to suicide were detected for amlodipine . Both hypotension and acute renal injury ranked in the top two in the number of reports of the two drugs . The time scan results of the information component （IC）of this study showed that the IC values of non -cardiogenic pulmonary edema and suicide completion signals of amlodipine increased from 0.76，－0.49 to 4.48 and 1.95 respectively，and the confidence intervals narrowed from （－0.44，1.97），（－1.01，0.03）to （4.24，4.72）and（1.90，2.01）respectively during 2004 to 2021，suggesting that the signals kept stable . CONCLUSIONS The risks of peripheral edema ，hypotension，arrhythmia，pulmonary edema ，gingival hyperplasia ，skin related ADE ，acute renal injury ， depression and suicide should be alert when using amlodipine and lercanidipine in clinic .
