OBJECTIVE To explore kinetic features and its underlying mechanism of the positive inotropic effect of liguzinediol(LZDO)in rats. METHODS ①An In vivo study was made to record the effect of LZDO 20 mg · kg-1 injected for 30 consecutive min from the left external jugular vein on pressure-volume relationships. ②Ex vivo study was used to record the antagonistic effect of LZDO on reduced contractility induced by caffeine. Caffeine and LZDO were perfused as follows:normal perfusion solution, caffeine 0.5 mmol · L-1,and then caffeine 0.5 mmol · L-1+LZDO 100 μmol · L-1. ③ Ca2+ transient from cardiomyocyte sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was measured to analyze the effect of LZDO on Ca2 +release blocked by thapsigargin. Thapsigargin and LZDO were perfused as follows:normal perfusion solution,thapsigargin 2 μmol · L-1,and then thapsigargin 2 μmol · L-1+LZDO 100 μmol · L-1.④The SR vesicles were prepared and the effect of LZDO(1,10 and 100μmol·L-1)on sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ATPase(SERCA2a)activity was determined according to the ultramicro-Ca2+-ATP enzyme kit. RESULTS ① LZDO 20 mg · kg- 1 significantly reduced the end-systolic volume (Ves) and enhanced the end-systolic pressure (Pes),stroke volume (SV),ejection fraction (EF),cardiac output(CO),peak rate of rise of left ventricular pressure(+dp/dtmax)and stroke work(SW)(P<0.05). However,LZDO 20 mg · kg-1 did not significantly change the heart rate(HR )or the end-diastolic volume (Ved). ② Caffeine 0.5 mmol · L- 1 significantly enhanced HR,left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP ),and+dp∶dtmax at 5 min after caffeine and decreased at 30 min. However,LZDO 100μmol·L-1 restored the reduced HR,LVDP,and+dp/dtmax induced by caffeine at 30 min(P<0.05).③Thapsigargin 2μmol·L-1 significantly reduced the SR Ca2+transient from perfusion solution group(100±5)%to(51± 5)%(P<0.05) and LZDO 100 μmol · L-1 failed to restore the decreased Ca2+ transient〔(49 ± 4)%〕. Normalized Ca2+transients were reduced by thapsigargin 2μmol·L-1 and thapsigargin 2μmol·L-1+LZDO 100 μmol · L-1. ④ LZDO(10 and 100 μmol · L-1)significantly increased the activities of SERCA2a in perfusion solution group 0.98±0.10 to 1.17±0.20 and (1.43±0.09)μmol Pi·g-1·h-1,respectively(P<0.05). CONCLUSION LZDO can enhance SR Ca2+ gradient by activating the SERCA2a and might be developed to serve as a potential positive inotropic agent in clinical settings.

Kidney transplantation is the most fundamental treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. However, due to the long-term malnutrition of the patient before transplantation, coupled with the use of stress stimulation, immunosuppressive agents, and high-dose hormones after kidney transplantation, the patient is in a hypermetabolic state, and malnutrition is aggravated. The nutrition status of patients has a significant impact on the prognosis and development of kidney transplantation. Therefore, this article reviews the current status of nutrition intervention, the assessment of malnutrition, the related factors of malnutrition, and nutrition management in kidney transplantation recipients, so as to provide a reference for the nutrition and diet management of kidney transplantation recipients.

Objective:To explore the association between weight status and early changes in blood pressure, cardiac structure and function in children at 4 years of age.Methods:A cross-sectional study of the relationship between weight status and cardiovascular parameters was performed on the platform of "Shanghai Birth Cohort" in Shanghai Xinhua Hospital between 2017 and 2020. Height, weight, blood pressure and echocardiography were measured in 1 477 children at 4 years of age. According to body mass index (BMI), participants were classified into five groups: underweight, lean, normal weight, overweight and obese. Blood pressure, cardiac structure and function indexes were compared among different groups using one-way ANOVA. The associations between blood pressure, cardiac structure and function and weight status in children were analyzed by linear regression models. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze whether weight status was an independent risk factor for elevated blood pressure or left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in children.Results:A total of 1 477 children including 772 boys and 705 girls were included in this study. There were 115 overweight and obese boys (14.9%) and 68 overweight and obese girls (9.6%). The majority of children had normal weight (916 cases, 62.0%), followed by underweight (303 cases, 20.5%), overweight (130 cases, 8.8%), lean (75 cases, 5.1%), and obese (53 cases, 3.6%). With the increase of BMI, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left ventricular posterior wall thickness in systole, left ventricular posterior wall thickness in diastole, left ventricular diameter in end-systole, left ventricular diameter in end-diastole, interventricular septum thickness in systole and left ventricular ejection fraction showed significantly positive trend, and the differences among the groups were significant (F=31.73, 6.59, 14.22, 4.96, 3.01, 31.50, 39.79, 5.91, 3.09, all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression showed that overweight and obese were all positively associated with systolic blood pressure (β=5.2, 95% CI 3.6-6.8), LVMI (β=1.9, 95% CI 0.8-3.1), left ventricular diameter in end-systole (β=1.3, 95% CI 0.9-1.8), and left ventricular diameter in end-diastole (β=1.6, 95% CI 1.0-2.2). In the Logistic regression model, compared with normal weight children, overweight ( OR=2.37, 95% CI 1.37-4.41) and obese children ( OR=10.90, 95% CI 4.47-26.60) both had significantly increased risk of elevated blood pressure. However, the risk of LVH did not significantly increased. Conclusions:Overweight and obesity in 4-year-old children are associated with increased blood pressure, increased left ventricle diameter and LVMI. Overweight and obesity are independent risk factors for elevated blood pressure in children at 4 years of age.

OBJECTIVE To mine the adverse drug event (ADE) signals of selinexor, and to provide reference for its clinical safety medication. METHODS ADE data for selinexor reported from July 3rd, 2019 to March 31st, 2023 were collected from the FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS). Data mining was performed by using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) and proportional reporting ratio (PRR) methods, and categorization statistics were performed by using the system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) from drug ADE terminology set in the MedDRA (version 26.0). RESULTS A total of 3 084 ADE reports were obtained for selinexor, with a total of 134 ADE-positive signals. Among the reported genders, there were 127 males and 124 females, with a predominant age of ≥65 years old (4.12%); the United States had the highest number of reports (96.53%), with consumers being the main reporters (77.27%); severe ADR was mainly characterized by hospitalization/prolonged hospitalization (26.26%), followed by death (17.15%). The top 3 ADE in the list of frequency were nausea (1 162 times), fatigue (790 times) and anorexia (610 times), all of which were mentioned in the selinexor’s instructions. The top 3 signals in the list of strength were device-associated bacteremia (ROR=115.07, PRR=114.94), blepharospasm dysfunction (ROR=106.70, PRR=106.54), and salmonella sepsis (ROR=99.90, PRR=99.81), all of which were not mentioned in the selinexor’s instructions. CONCLUSIONS In addition to the ADE of nausea mentioned in the instruction manual, attention should also paid to device-associated bacteremia, blepharospasm dysfunction, salmonella sepsis, and other ADE not mentioned in the instruction manual when using selinexor in clinical practice; weekly rechecking of the patient’s blood routine should be done to monitor the patient’s blood indexes, symptoms of infection, and so on, to ensure that the safety of 1661962346@qq.com drug use.
