ObjectiveBased on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS）， network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques， to explore the pharmacodynamic material basis and mechanism of Renshen Wuweizi Tang in treating spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome. MethodsThe chemical components in the decoction of Renshen Wuweizi Tang were systematically characterized and identified by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS， and network pharmacology was used to screen potential active ingredients， collect component targets and gene sets related to spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome， and obtain protein interaction relationships through STRING. Cytoscape 3.9.1 was used to construct a "formula-syndrome" association network and calculate topological feature values. Gene ontology（GO） function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis were performed on core genes to explore potential pharmacodynamic links， the average shortest path between the formula-drug target network and the pharmacodynamic link gene network was calculated to discover dominant pharmacodynamic links， and MCODE plugin was used to identify core gene clusters from the dominant pharmacodynamic links， which were validated using Gene Expression Omnibus（GEO）， and molecular docking was performed between key components and core targets. ResultsOne hundred and thirty-seven components were identified in the negative ion mode， and eighty components were identified in the positive ion mode. After deduplication， a total of 185 components were identified， mainly composed of triterpenoid saponins（49） and flavonoids（54）. Based on the "formula-syndrome" correlation network analysis， energy metabolism was determined to be the dominant pharmacodynamic link of Renshen Wuweizi Tang in the treatment of spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome. The results of molecular docking showed that 7 components（adenosine， atractylenolide Ⅱ， atractylenolide Ⅲ， ginsenoside Rg₁， glycyrrhizin B₂， glycyrrhizin E₂ and campesterol） from 4 medicinal materials（Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma， Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Poria） in this formula might regulate energy metabolism by acting on 6 targets， namely cyclic adenosine monophosphate-response element binding protein 1（CREB1）， glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase（GAPDH）， interleukin（IL）-6， nuclear transcription factor（NF）-κB1， peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α（PPARα）， and tumor necrosis factor（TNF）， thus improving the symptoms of diseases related to spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome. ConclusionThis study established a UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS for rapid characterization and identification of chemical components in the decoction of Renshen Wuweizi Tang， expanding the understanding of the material composition of this formula， and found that 7 components might act on the key advantageous pharmacodynamic link "energy metabolism" through 6 targets to improve the related symptoms of spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome. This can provide a reference for the subsequent exploration of the material benchmark and mechanism of the famous classical formula.

This article reported a case of neurodevelopmental disorder accompanied by spastic diplegia and visual impairment with the manifestation of small fetal head circumference. Prenatal ultrasonography performed at 33 +5 weeks of pregnancy revealed small fetal head circumference (-2.61SD) and oligohydramnios. Whole-exome sequencing identified a heterozygous frameshift variation of c.1623_1624insA (p.R542Tfs*30) in the CTNNB1 gene (NM_001904.4) of the fetus. No phenotypic abnormalities or corresponding gene variations were detected in the parents, suggesting it was a de novo variation. Based on the clinical manifestations, the fetus was diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder accompanied by spastic diplegia and visual defects. Following genetic counseling, the pregnant woman chose to terminate the pregnancy.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and variant of CREBBP gene in a fetus with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS). Methods:A fetus with RSTS diagnosed at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in August 2022 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data, amniotic fluid sample of the fetus and peripheral blood samples of its parents were collected for whole exome sequencing (WES). Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing.Results:Foot malformation, cerebellar vermis agenesis, brain agenesis, polysyndactyly of the big toes and other phenotypes were found by prenatal ultrasound. WES revealed that the fetus has harbored a heterozygous c. 4684G>T (p.E1562*) variant in exon 28 of the CREBBP gene (NM_004380.3), which was de novo in origin. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the variant was predicted to be pathogenic (PVS1+ PS2_Moderate+ PM2_Supporting). After genetic counseling, the couple had opted to terminate the pregnancy and refused autopsy for the fetus. Conclusion:The c. 4684G>T (p.E1562*) variant of the CREBBP gene probably underlay the RSTS in this fetus. The newly discovered variant has enriched the mutational spectrum of the CREBBP gene and illustrated that WES is an efficient tool for the prenatal diagnosis of RSTS.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the underlying mechanism of the efficacy of Levo-tetrahydropalmatine （l-THP） in alleviating chronic pain and identify the key metabolites and metabolic pathways for l-THP regulation. MethodA classical chronic constrictive injury （CCI） model was built in rats’ bodies， and the pain intensity was evaluated by detecting the mechanical withdrawal threshold. On the sixth day after surgery， oral administration of l-THP （64 mg·kg^-1） and positive control drug pregabalin （Pre， 30 mg·kg^-1） was performed on rats. After the last administration following consecutive five times of administration， ipsilateral spinal cord tissues were collected for widely-targeted metabonomics， with eight rats in each group. Differential metabolites （DEMs） were identified according to the standard of VIP>1.0 and P<0.05， and functional enrichment and interaction analyses of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） were performed to obtain the key metabolites and metabolic pathways associated with the analgesic effects of l-THP. ResultIn behavioral science， administration of both l-THP and Pre significantly improved mechanical hyperalgesia in CCI rats （P<0.01）， thus mitigating pain. Metabonomic analysis results revealed that l-THP administration corrected the aberrant metabolic profile in the spinal cord of CCI rats. Meanwhile， 53 DEMs were called back， including several classical pain biomarkers such as sphingosine-1-phosphate （S1P）， cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP）， acetylcholine， and glutamate. Functional enrichment analysis of the DEMs indicated the involvement of metabolic pathways such as ferroptosis， autophagy， neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions， phospholipase D and cAMP-related signaling pathways， glutathione metabolism， and cofactor biosynthesis in mediating the effects of l-THP on the metabolic profile of the spinal cord. Further analyses on the relative metabolite abundance and metabolic pathways indicated that by significantly decreasing the relative levels of glutamate （P<0.01） and glycine （P<0.01） in the spinal cord， l-THP can promote the synthesis of reduced glutathione （GSH） and increase the ratio of reduced/oxidized GSH （P<0.05）. Additionally， it can relieve oxidative stress in the spinal cord of CCI rats and significantly reduce the acetyl-CoA level （P<0.01） to finally inhibit ferroptosis occurrence. Conclusionl-THP may exert analgesic effects by regulating multiple metabolic pathways including GSH metabolism， ferroptosis， cofactor biosynthesis， and amino acid synthesis to correct the aberrant metabolic profile in the spinal cord of CCI rats. Ferroptosis and GSH metabolism may be the key pathways for l-THP regulation， with glutamate， glycine， glutathione， and acetyl-CoA as the key metabolites.

AIM:To compare the effects of 0.01% with 0.05% atropine eye drops on pupil diameter(PD)and intraocular pressure(IOP)in myopic children.METHODS: Prospective non-randomized controlled study. A total of 232 myopic children who treated at the Department of Ophthalmology, the Second People's Hospital of Puyang from March 2021 to February 2022 were included. They were divided into 0.01% atropine eye drops group(81 cases), 0.05% atropine eye drops group(77 cases), and control group(74 cases)according to patients' will, respectively. The control group received placebo eye drops(isotonic excipient). The PD and IOP of the three groups of patients were measured before medication and at 6 and 12 mo after medication.RESULTS: Finally, 181 cases(181 eyes)(with all right eye data included in the study)completed a 1-year follow-up, with a loss to follow-up rate of 22.0%(51/232). Among them, 62 cases(62 eyes)belonged to the 0.01% atropine eye drops group, 54 cases(54 eyes)belonged to the 0.05% atropine eye drops group, and 65 cases(65 eyes)belonged to the control group. There was no significant difference in baseline PD and IOP among the three groups(all P<0.05). After 12 mo of medication, the changes in PD among the 0.01% atropine eye drops group, 0.05% atropine eye drops group, and control group were 0.79±0.70, 1.29±0.66, and 0.06±0.74 mm, respectively(P<0.001). The change in PD in the 0.05% atropine eye drops group was significantly greater than that in both the 0.01% atropine eye drops group and the control group. Similarly, the change in PD in the 0.01% atropine eye drops group was significantly greater than that in the control group(all P<0.05). After 12 mo of medication, the changes in IOP among the 0.01% atropine eye drops group, 0.05% atropine eye drops group, and control group were -0.70±1.94, -0.22±1.79, and 0.25±2.03 mmHg, respectively(P<0.05). The changes in IOP in the 0.05% atropine eye drops group showed statistically significant difference compared to both the 0.01% atropine eye drops group and the control group(all P>0.05), and the changes in IOP in the 0.01% atropine eye drops group were statistically significant compared to the control group(P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that baseline refractive error and baseline PD were significant factors influencing the change in PD among children treated with atropine eye drops(β=0.230, 95%CI: 0.005-0.455, SE=0.114, t=2.025, P=0.045; β=-0.562, 95%CI: -0.729--0.396, SE=0.084, t=6.697, P<0.001). Additionally, baseline IOP was significant factor influencing the change in IOP among children in the atropine eye drop groups(β=-0.285, 95%CI: -0.439--0.131, SE=0.078, t=3.662, P<0.001).CONCLUSION: The PD of myopic children increased after using 0.01% and 0.05% atropine eye drops, and the change in PD after using 0.05% atropine eye drops was significantly greater than that of 0.01% atropine eye drops. No risk was found in the use of 0.01% and 0.05% atropine eye drops and elevated IOP.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the pharmaceutical service process in a fracture patient complicated by fat embolism syndrome （FES） following postoperative fracture， aiming to provide a reference for clinical treatment and pharmaceutical service for similar patients. METHODS Clinical pharmacist participated in the entire treatment process of a patient with FES following postoperative fracture. Based on the patient’s clinical manifestations and test results， literature was reviewed to assist clinical physicians in formulating the therapeutic regimen of glucocorticoids. For the drug-related adverse reactions of renal function impairment and reduced platelet count that occurred during the treatment， suspicious drugs were analyzed and disposed of accordingly. RESULTS The clinical pharmacist recommended Hydrocortisone sodium succinate for injection （100 mg， q8 h， ivgtt， for about one week followed by a gradual dose reduction） for treating FES. The Vancomycin hydrochloride for injection used in this case was assessed as “very probably” associated with the adverse drug reactions of renal function impairment and thrombocytopenia. The clinical physician adopted the pharmacist’s medication recommendations， and the patient’s condition stabilized after treatment， with improvement in adverse reactions， and was discharged from the hospital. CONCLUSIONS The use of glucocorticoids in treating FES has a definite therapeutic efficacy. Clinical pharmacists should individualize the medication plan based on the patient’s pathological state and distinguish it from postoperative sepsis. Meanwhile， drug-induced adverse reactions in the kidney and blood system should be closely monitored.
