The previous pharmacokinetic methods can be only limited to drug analysis in vitro, which provide less information on the distribution and metabolismof drugs, and limit the interpretation and assessment of pharmacokinetics, the determination of metabolic principles, and evaluation of treatment effect. The objective of the study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of gene recombination angiogenesis inhibitor Kringle 5 in vivo. The SPECT/CT and specific 131I-Kringle 5 marked by Iodogen method were both applied to explore the pharmacokinetic characteristics of 131I-Kringle 5 in vivo, and to investigate the dynamic distributions of 131I-Kringle 5 in target organs. Labeling recombinant angio-genesis inhibitor Kringle 5 using 131I with longer half-life and imaging in vivo using SPECT instead of PET, could overcome the limitations of previous methods. When the doses of 131I-Kringle 5 were 10.0, 7.5 and 5.0 g/kg, respectively, the two-compartment open models can be determined within all the metabolic process in vivo. There were no significant differences in t1/2α, t1/2β, apparent volume of distribution and CL between those three levels. The ratio of AUC(0 ? 1) among three different groups of 10.0, 7.5 and 5.0 g/kg was 2.56:1.44:1.0, which was close to the ratio (2:1.5:1.0). It could be clear that in the range of 5.0–10.0 g/kg, Kringle 5 was characterized by the first-order pharmacokinetics. Approximately 30 min after 131I-Kringle 5 was injected, 131I-Kringle 5 could be observed to concentrate in the heart, kidneys, liver and other organs by means of planar imaging and tomography. After 1 h of being injected, more radionuclide retained in the bladder, but not in intestinal. It could be concluded that 131I-Kringle 5 is mainly excreted through the kidneys. About 2 h after the injection of 131I-Kringle 5, the radionuclide in the heart, kidneys, liver and other organs was gradually reduced, while more radionuclide was concentrated in the bladder. The radionuclide was completely metabolized within 24 h, and the distribution of radioactivity in rats was similar to normal levels. In our study, the specific marker 131I-Kringle 5 and SPECT/CT were suc-cessfully used to explore pharmacokinetic characteristics of Kringle 5 in rats. The study could provide a new evaluation platform of the specific, in vivo and real-time functional imaging and pharmacokinetics for the clinical application of 131I-Kringle 5.

Objective:To develop and validate a clinical prediction model for the risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmia in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during hospitalization, and evaluate the effect of the prediction model.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted. A total of 2 649 patients with AMI admitted to cardiology department of Changzhou No.2 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from December 2012 to August 2020 were enrolled. The clinical characteristics including gender, age, medical history, discharge diagnosis, vital signs during hospitalization, electrocardiogram characteristics at admission, laboratory examination indexes, interventional treatment, drug usage, malignant ventricular arrhythmias [mainly included sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular flutter or ventricular fibrillation (VF)], and death were recorded. All patients were divided into two groups according to whether VT/VF occurred during their hospitalization. Independent risk factors for VT/VF during hospitalization were evaluated by multivariate Logistic regression analysis, and a clinical prediction model was constructed. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was plotted, and the area under ROC curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the accuracy of the prediction model.Results:A total of 2 649 eligible patients with AMI were enrolled, of whom 134 (5.06%) developed VT/VF during hospitalization. The in-hospital mortality rate in VT/VF group was significantly higher than that in non-VT/VF group (38.1% vs. 1.7%, P < 0.01). Compared with the non-VT/VF group, the patients in the VT/VF group with lower systolic blood pressure [SBP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 125.9±28.2 vs. 132.0±24.2], higher random blood glucose (mmol/L: 8.6±4.8 vs. 7.4±3.7), worse cardiac function [Killip heart function grade ≥ 3: 36.6% vs. 10.7%, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 0.50: 56.7% vs. 33.6%, frequent premature ventricular contractions: 12.7% vs. 1.2%] and more hypokalemia (46.3% vs. 17.3%), with significant differences (all P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Killip classification of cardiac function ≥ 3 [odds ratio ( OR) = 3.540, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 2.336-5.363], random blood glucose > 11.1 mmol/L ( OR = 1.841, 95% CI was 1.171-2.893), LVEF < 0.50 ( OR = 0.546, 95% CI was 0.374-0.797), frequent premature ventricular contractions ( OR = 12.361, 95% CI was 6.077-25.144), potassium < 3.5 mmol/L ( OR = 4.268, 95% CI was 2.910-6.259), SBP < 90 mmHg ( OR = 0.299, 95% CI was 0.150-0.597) and creatinine (Cr) > 100 μmol/L ( OR = 2.498, 95% CI was 1.170-5.334) were independent risk factors for VT/VF in patients with AMI (all P < 0.05). The clinical prediction model of VT/VF risk was constructed based on the variables selected by multivariate regression analysis. The ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of the model in predicting VT/VF was 0.779 (95% CI was 0.735-0.823, P < 0.001); the optimal cut-off value of the model was 17, the sensitivity was 76.1%, the specificity was 67.3%. Conclusions:The incidence of VT/VF during hospitalization of AMI patients significantly increases the risk of in-hospital death. The independent risk factors of VT/VF are Killip grade ≥ 3, random blood glucose > 11.1 mmol/L, LVEF < 0.50, frequent ventricular premature beats, potassium < 3.5 mmol/L, SBP < 90 mmHg and Cr > 100 μmol/L. The newly constructed clinical prediction model has certain predictive value for the occurrence risk of VT/VF.

Conclusion:The application of Yiqi Yangyin Huoxue method for the treatment of DR can improve vision, hemorheology and TCM symptoms, improve the total clinical response rate, and reduce the levels of VEGF and TNF-α, with high clinical safety.

Objective Meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of fenestration decompression and curettage in the treatment of jaw cyst.Methods Randomized controlled trials comparing fenestration decompression and curettage in treatment of jaw cysts were retrieved from PubMed,Cochrane Library,CNKI,SinoMed,VIP and Wanfang data from built databases to June 2024.A Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software to compare the rate of capsule volume reduction,bone hyperplasia thickness and bone density at 3,6 and 12 months after treatment with two methods.Results A total of 14 literatures were included.At 3,6 and 12 months after operation,rate of capsule volume reduction and bone density after fenestration decompression were significantly better than that after curettage.At 6 and 12 months after operation,bone hyperplasia thickness after fenestration decompression were significantly greater than that after curettage.Conclusion Fenestration decompression is superior to curettage in the treatment of jaw cyst in terms of rate of capsule volume reduction,bone hyperplasia thickness and bone density.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of Coptidis Rhizoma- Puerariae Lobamle Radix on the treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) by means of network pharmacology. Methods:The TCMSP and UniProt databases were used to retrieve the active components and targets of Coptidis Rhizoma and Puerariae Lobamle Radix. GeneCards and OMIM databases were used to search for DR and DN genes, and the online tool Venny was used to obtain intersection targets. Cytoscape 3.8.2 software was used to construct a network diagram of "components-targets", and the STRING platform was used to construct a protein interaction (PPI) network. GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were carried out through the DAVID annotation database. Molecular docking verification was performed. Results:A total of 18 active components and 74 disease-drug intersection targets were screened out from Coptidis Rhizoma- Puerariae Lobamle Radix. GO functional enrichment analysis showed that intersection targets were mainly concentrated in biological processes such as inflammation and apoptosis, involving cellular components such as extracellular space, plasma membrane, and cytoplasm, and was related to molecular functions such as protein binding, ATP binding, and enzyme binding. Enrichment analysis of KEGG revealed that the intersection target may be related to TNF signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, etc. The results of molecular docking showed that the core component had a good binding energy with the core targets. Conclusion:Coptidis Rhizoma-Puerariae Lobamle Radix may regulate TNF signal pathway, Toll-like receptor signal pathway and PI3K/Akt signal pathway through TNF, IL6, TP53 and other targets, and play a role in inhibiting cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and reducing inflammation.

Objective:To observe the baseline characteristics and clinical efficacy in cancer patients who were treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and experienced immune-related adverse events (irAEs).Methods:The clinical efficacy in cancer patients experiencing irAEs was retrospectively analyzed, and the objective response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival were evaluated.Results:The median onset time of irAEs in 23 patients was 3.17 months. There were 47.8% (11/23) patients with multi-system irAEs, 63.3% (7/11) of which were non-simultaneous. The most common irAEs were immune-related pneumonia, hypothyroidism and immune-related liver dysfunction. Complete remission, partial remission and stable disease were respectively achieved in 0, 10 and 11 cases, while the other two patients developed progressive disease. The objective response rate was 43.5% and the disease control rate was 91.3%. With a median follow-up period of 16.5 months, 17 patients (73.9%) had progressive disease and the median progression-free survival was 9.63 months. Eight patients (34.8%) died before reaching the median overall survival. The progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with irAEs ≥grade 3 were significantly shorter than those with irAEs of grade 1-2 ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The occurrence of irAEs might correlate with the short-term efficacy and clinical benefits in patients treated with ICIs.

Cognitive dysfunction refers to dysfunction of individual perception,memory,understanding,learning,creation and other dysfunctions caused by abnormal brain function and structure.Based on the fact that the spleen can't regulate transportation and transformation,govern blood and send up essential substance,combined with the microbiota-gut-brain axis,this article discussed the etiology and pathogenesis of intestinal flora imbalance affecting cognitive dysfunction in TCM.It was proposed that the spleen in TCM and intestinal flora are connected in physiology and pathology:the spleen regulates spirit and governs cognition,when the spleen fails to function normally that it can't dominate transportation and transformation,govern blood and send up essential substance will cause that the brain spirit can not be nourished;intestinal flora is closely related to the spleen in TCM,and affects brain function through the nervous system,endocrine,immune and metabolic mechanisms.This article can provide explore new ideas for the clinical research and treatment of cognitive dysfunction of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
