AIM:To observe the effect ofTongmai Liquid on endothelin(ET),interlenkin-18(IL-18),macrophage colony stimulating factor(M-CSF)in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).METHODS:Eighty patients with coronary heart disease accompanied by heart and spleen qi deficiency and qi stagnanty+phlegm stasis and were randomly assigned into test group and control groups.Forty patients in test group were treated with Tongmai Liquid,30 mL,thrice per day,Forty patients in control group were treated with Shexiang Baoxin Pills,2 pills every time,thrice per day.The therapeutic course for both groups was 30 days.The blood-serum ET,IL-18 and M-CSF had been tested before and after the treatment.RESULTS:The levels of blood-serum ET,IL-18 and MCSF in the two groups decreased significantly after treatment(P<0.05).There's significant difference in two groups'blood-serum of ET(P<0.05),There're no significant diffference in two groups'blood-serum level IL-18 and of M-CSF(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Tongmai Liquid may decrease blood-serum level of ET,IL-18 and M-CSF in patients with coronary heart disease without side effect.

ERK1/2 is a key protein that mediates cell signal transduction,and it is involved in regulating biological processes such as chromatin remodeling,nuclear disintegration,proliferation,survival,metabolism,and cell migration and differentiation.Its overactivation is closely related to the occurrence and progression of cancer,and the mechanism is manifested as the overactivation of ERK1/2 by gene mutations of upstream pathway molecules or regulators and the reactivation of ERK1/2 after inhibition against the above targets.ERK1/2 is a potentially valuable target.In this review,the mechanism of post-translational modification and spatial regulation of ERK1/2 and the application status of corresponding small-molecule inhibitors were discussed.The current antitumor strategy of targeting and regulating ERK1/2 was summarized,and the possibility of exploring potential targets was elucidated,thus providing new insights into the developmental research of ERK1/2 as an ideal anticancer target.

Objective To study the implementation effects of China′s contracted service policy for family physicians. Methods Systematic evaluation method was used to extract, describe and analyze the literature information of the research on the implementation effect of family physicians contracted service policy. Results A total of 80 papers of four types were rounded up, including 47 on the effect of health management on patients with chronic diseases, 11 on the effect of health management on the elderly, 15 on the effect on the first diagnosis in the community, and 7 on the effect on the control of medical expenses.The research is mostly distributed in the developed areas in the east. The family physicians contracted service promotes the health management effect of patients with chronic diseases and the elderlies, improves the first visit ratio of residents at their community, and effectively controls the medical expenses.Existing research shows that such a service has achieved initial success.However, the research also identified such common problems as the shortage and low competence of family physicians, low quality, resource integration and inadequate policy publicity. Conclusions The contracted service policy in China has begun to play the role of " health gatekeeper" and " cost gatekeeper" to some extent.It is suggested to strengthen the training of general practitioners, establish and perfect incentive mechanism, and improve the construction of information platform, while the implementation effect of contracted services for family physicians deserve further study in a broader scope, deeper level and design specifications.

Based on the theories of "pathogenesis caused by constraint emotions" and "visceral orifices", it is believed that the pathogenesis of tinnitus caused by constraint syndrome follows the evolution pattern of "qi constraint (liver qi constraint) → fire disturbance (liver constraint transforming into fire) → deficiency impairment (liver constraint with spleen deficiency) → blood stasis (liver constraint leading to blood stasis)". The treatment is guided by the principle of integrated internal and external therapy with harmonization of both body and mind. Internally, the treatment focuses on rectifying zang-fu imbalances, primarily using the Xiaoyao Powder (逍遥散), with modifications based on syndrome differentiation. External therapies aim to unblock the meridians and orifices, commonly using auricular acupressure and Chinese herbal hot compresses. Additionally, traditional Chinese five-tone music therapy is applied to regulate emotional and mental disturbances. By integrating these three approaches, a comprehensive treatment strategy is formed that harmonizes both body and mind for managing tinnitus associated with constraint syndrome.

OBJECTIVE To analyze and identify the metabolites of pirtobrutinib (PTN) in rats, and clarify the possible metabolic pathways of PTN in rats. METHODS Six rats were intragastrically administered with 10 mg/kg PTN suspension. Blood samples were collected from the rats 30 minutes before administration and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours after administration. Urine and feces samples were collected 12 hours before administration and 24 hours after administration. UHPLC- Orbitrap Exploris 240 system combined with Compound Discoverer 3.0 and Xcalibur 2.0 software were adopted for structural identification and metabolic pathway analysis of PTN metabolites in rat plasma, urine, and feces. RESULTS A total of 29 PTN metabolites were identified, including 17, 19 and 22 metabolites in plasma, urine and feces, respectively. The metabolic pathways of PTN mainly included oxidation, sulfation, glucuronidation, etc., and its metabolites were mostly combination products of two or more different metabolic forms. In detail, a total of 26 metabolites were associated with phase Ⅰ metabolic reactions (14 oxidation metabolites, 9 reduction/dehydrogenation metabolites, 8 demethylation metabolites, and 5 hydrolysis metabolites). Meanwhile, a total of 20 products were involved in phase Ⅱ metabolites (14 sulfation metabolites and 8 glucuronic acid binding metabolites). CONCLUSIONS PTN exhibits a diverse range of metabolites in rat fecal samples, with the primary metabolic pathways being oxidation, sulfation, glucuronidation, and others.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of three-dimensional intracavitary/free-hand interstitial brachytherapy technique in radical radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of patients with cervical cancer who underwent radical radiotherapy using CT-guided three-dimensional intracavitary/free-hand interstitial brachytherapy technique in The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from April 2019 to September 2021. The short-term efficacy and adverse reactions were analyzed, and the independent predictors affecting short-term efficacy were evaluated by logistic risk regression model. Results A total of 182 patients were included, and all patients successfully completed the treatment. Clinical efficacy assessment performed 3 months after treatment revealed an overall response rate of 90.65%; the incidence of grade 3 and 4 adverse reactions in the lower gastrointestinal tract was 4.4% during treatment. After reclassifying stage IIIC patients according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 staging system and including factors affecting the stage, it was found that the tumor volume before brachytherapy was the main factor affecting the clinical efficacy of patients at this stage (P = 0.004). Conclusion As a key method in radical radiotherapy for cervical cancer, three-dimensional intracavitary/free-hand interstitial brachytherapy technique is safe and effective and can be quickly popularized in primary hospitals beyond regional cancer centers for cervical cancer brachytherapy.
