Background:Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is associated with marked immune dysregulation, but the peripheral T-cell transcriptional alterations linked to CAP remain incompletely defined. We aimed to characterize CAP-associated T-cell heterogeneity and identify candidate blood biomarkers by integrating single-cell and bulk transcriptomic data. Methods:GEO-processed whole-blood microarray expression data from 108 patients with CAP and 42 healthy controls (GSE65682), together with processed PBMC scRNA-seq data from five non-influenza CAP donors and four control donors (GSE164948), were analysed. Cell annotation, differential expression, disease contribution scoring, LASSO regression, and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination were used to identify candidate genes. Immune infiltration, enrichment, and pseudotime analyses were performed. Key findings were evaluated by qRT-PCR in PBMCs from an independent cohort of 36 CAP patients and 18 healthy controls. Results:T cells showed the highest disease contribution score and were enriched for pathways related to antigen processing, phosphorylation, and immune regulation. Four candidate biomarkers, CD8B, GZMM, MYL12B, and TUBA1A, showed differential expression between CAP and controls. CIBERSORT suggested increased eosinophils and monocytes and reduced resting CD4+ memory T cells in CAP. Pseudotime analysis indicated that CAP-associated T cells accumulated at higher inferred pseudotime values. qRT-PCR confirmed significant upregulation of these four candidate biomarkers in CAP PBMCs; FCGR2A also showed CAP-associated expression changes. Conclusions:Integrative transcriptomic profiling identified peripheral T-cell dysregulation in CAP and highlighted CD8B, GZMM, MYL12B, and TUBA1A as candidate blood biomarkers. These findings provide a basis for further multicenter validation and mechanistic studies.
AIM:The purpose of this study was to explore and describe lung transplantation recipients' expectations and dilemmatic experiences of continuity of care. METHODS:A phenomenological research method was used to conduct face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 22 lung transplant recipients who visited the lung transplant centre of a hospital in Eastern China for follow-up visits, and NVivo 14 software was used to analyse the interview data and refine the themes. RESULTS:Four themes were identified in this study, including information support, maintaining collaborative relationships, standardised management, and facing multiple challenges. CONCLUSION:Accurately assessing patients' needs and experiences, developing and implementing effective continuity of care strategies, providing timely support and professional guidance, and maintaining a close working relationship with patients are effective means of ensuring the quality of information and continuity of relationships. At the same time, attention to assessing the quality and competence of condition management in different healthcare organisations, as well as assessing the effectiveness of telemedicine platform management, is also necessary to improve the quality of continuity of care.
OBJECTIVE:Currently, there is a lack of information on the clinical pharmacokinetics (PK), effectiveness, and safety of colistin sulphate (CS) in lung transplant recipients. This study aims to improve CS dosing regimens and evaluate its population PK in lung transplant recipients. METHODS:This study evaluated the clinical efficacy, microbiological efficacy, and adverse events of CS in lung transplant recipients. The NONMEM program was employed to construct the population PK model, and Monte Carlo simulations were executed to establish dosing regimens according to the probability of target attainment (PTA). RESULTS:The study included 146 CS concentrations, spanning from 0.05 to 4.18 mg/L from 39 lung transplant recipients with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. 26 (66.67%) patients successfully eradicated bacteria, and 30 (76.92%) patients had clinical cure or improvement. Additionally, only 2 (5.13%) patients developed CS-related nephrotoxicity. The PK profile was effectively represented by a one-compartmental model with linear elimination. Creatinine clearance and concomitant furosemide use were recognized as covariates influencing the clearance of CS. Based on the PTA results, a daily dosage of 1.5 million IU, divided into 2-3 administrations, could attain a PTA exceeding 90% for MIC ≤ 1 µg/mL at creatinine clearance of about 110 mL/min. However, this regimen would lead to insufficient exposure for MIC ≥ 2 µg/mL. CONCLUSIONS:The clearance of CS is significantly influenced by concomitant furosemide use and renal function. The currently recommended dosing regimens by label sheet may result in subtherapeutic exposure for MIC exceeding 1 mg/L in lung transplant recipients.

Background:Lung cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among all cancer types, with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) being the most prevalent subtype. DNA damage repair (DDR)-related genes are closely associated with cancer progression and treatment, with emerging evidence highlighting their correlation with tumor development. However, the relationship between LUAD prognosis and DDR-related genes remains unclear.Methods:RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data and clinical information were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The GSE31210 dataset, utilized for external validation, was retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed DDR genes were identified, and a DDR-related prognostic model was established and validated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival analysis, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), tumor mutational burden (TMB) analysis, and immune cell infiltration. A P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results:A total of 514 patients with LUAD from TCGA database were divided into distinct subtypes to characterize the diversity within the DDR pathway. DDR-activated and DDR-suppressed subgroups showed distinct clinical characteristics, molecular characteristics, and immune profiles. Nine genes were identified as hub DDR-related genes, including CASP14, DKK1, ECT2, FLNC, HMMR, IGFBP1, KRT6A, TYMS, and FCER2. By using the expression levels of these selected genes, the corresponding risk scores for each sample was predicted. In the training group, KM survival analysis revealed that the high-risk group exhibited significantly diminished overall survival (OS) [hazard ratio (HR) =3.341, P=1.38e-08]. The corresponding area under the curve (AUC) values for the 1-year follow-up periods was 0.767, respectively. Upon validation in the external cohort, patients with higher risk scores manifested significantly reduced OS (HR =2.372, P=1.87e-03). The AUC values of the ROC curves for the 1-year OS in the validation cohort was 0.87, respectively. Moreover, advanced DDR risk score was correlated with increased TMB scores, a heightened frequency of TP53 mutations, an increased abundance of cancer-testicular antigens (CTAs), and a lower tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion (TIDE) score in patients with LUAD (P<0.05).Conclusions:A nine-gene risk signature associated with DDR in LUAD was effectively developed, demonstrating its potential as a robust and reliable classification tool for clinical practice. This model exhibited the capability to accurately predict the prognosis and survival outcomes of LUAD patients.

Background:This study aimed to explore the effect of early extubation combined with physical training on pulmonary rehabilitation of patients after lung transplantation. Methods:This is an open parallel randomized controlled trial. A total of 96 lung transplant patients admitted to Wuxi People's Hospital (July 2018 to June 2019) were included. Inclusion criteria: (I) aged 18-75; (II) lung transplantation; (III) communicate normally; (IV) voluntary participation. According to the random number method, they were divided into the control group (routine nursing intervention) and the observation group (early extubation combined with a physical training program). The indwelling tracheal intubation time, discharge time, intensive care unit (ICU) stay time, lung function, 6 Minutes Walk Distance (6MWD), Modified Barthel Index (MBI) and satisfaction rate were recorded and analyzed. Results:The observation group's first-time postoperative ambulation (t=2.10, P=0.039), indwelling tracheal intubation time (Z=2.864, P=0.004), and discharge time (t=3.111, P<0.001) were shorter than the control group, while the difference of ICU stay time was not statistically significant (Z=-1.658, P=0.097). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the lung function, 6MWD, and MBI of the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the Forced Expiratory Volume In 1 s (FEV1)% (t=-2.707, P<0.001), forced vital capacity (FVC)% (t=-3.716, P<0.001), FEV1/FVC (t=-3.539, P<0.001), 6MWD (t=-5.567, P<0.001), and MBI indexes (t=-4.073, P<0.001) were better than in observation group. The satisfaction rate of the observation group was better than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions:For lung transplant recipients, early extubation combined with a physical training program is scientific, safe, and feasible. This approach is helpful to promote the postoperative recovery of lung transplant patients, reduce the length of hospitalization, help patients improve their lung function and ability to engage in activities of daily living, and increase the satisfaction rate of postoperative recovery. Results show that the combination of early extubation and a physical training program is worthy of clinical promotion for lung transplant recipients.
