OBJECTIVE To systematically analyze the population pharmacokinetics （PPK） studies of lacosamide and expound the influential factors of its pharmacokinetics in different populations. METHODS PPK studies of lacosamide were collected by searching the databases， such as Web of Science， PubMed， Embase， Metasearch， CNKI， Wanfang Data and VIP， both in Chinese and English. Relevant data were extracted， and the Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool was used to evaluate the quality of the PPK models in the included studies. RESULTS Among 8 studies ultimately included， 6 were retrospective studies and 2 were prospective studies； 5 studies involved pediatric patients. Seven studies adopted a one-compartment model， while 1 study utilized a two-compartment model. Four studies had a model quality rating of grade A， two of grade B and two of grade C， respectively. Body weight， renal function， and hepatic enzyme inducers were significant covariates influencing PPK of lacosamide. CONCLUSIONS The existing PPK studies of lacosamide are predominantly conducted in pediatric populations. Pharmacokinetic variability is mainly influenced by body weight， renal function， and hepatic enzyme inducers. However， most PPK studies have not conducted external validation， and the generalizability of the models remains to be confirmed.

ObjectiveWith the epidermal growth factor receptor（EGFR）/Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription（STAT3）/Hexokinase 2（HK2） signaling pathway in atherosclerosis （AS） and ovarian cancer （OC） as the entry point， this paper discusses the molecular mechanism of Gypenoside L （Gyp-L） treating AS and OC with different diseases， provides a new perspective and theoretical basis for TCM treating AS and OC with EGFR-STAT3-HK2 pathway， and enriches the scientific connotation of the theory of "cytoskeleton in the heart". MethodsCCK-8 was used to detect the proliferation of HUVEC and OVCAR-3 cells， in order to determine the intervention concentration for subsequent experiments. The colorimetric method was used to detect the NO content in HUVEC and the contents of pyruvate and LDH in two cell lines. Cell cloning experiments and scratch experiments reflect the proliferation and migration ability of OVCAR-3 cells. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of relevant proteins. Furthermore， two cell models overexpressing EGFR were constructed and co treated with Gyp-L. HUVEC cells were divided into control， ox-LDL， OE-NC， OE-EGFR， OE-NC+Gyp-L， and OE-EGFR+Gyp-L group. OVCAR-3 cells were divided into control， OE-NC， OE-EGFR ， OE-NC+Gyp-L， and OE-EGFR+Gyp-L group. The colorimetric method was used to detect the NO content in HUVEC and the contents of pyruvate and LDH in two cell lines. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of EGFR-STAT3-HK2 pathway related proteins. Cell cloning experiments and scratch experiments reflect the proliferation and migration ability of OVCAR-3 cells. ResultsGyp-L can significantly reduce the NO content of HUVEC and the pyruvate and LDH content of two cell lines （P<0.05）； Inhibit the proliferation and migration ability of OVCAR-3 cells； Reduce the expression levels of EGFR/STAT3/HK2 pathway related proteins in HUVEC and OVCAR-3 cell lines （P<0.05）， and inhibit the glycolysis pathway. ConclusionGyp-L can inhibit glycolysis in HUVEC and OVCAR-3 cells through the EGFR/STAT3/HK2 pathway，thereby suppressing the occurrence and development of AS and OC.

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy （IgAN） is the primary glomerulonephritis with the highest incidence rate in the world. It is also the main cause of end-stage renal disease （ESRD） in China， which has brought heavy economic burden to the society and patient families. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has certain advantages in treating IgAN. In TCM， IgAN is classified into consumptive disease， hematuria， and edema categories， with the location in the kidney and involving the lung， liver， and spleen. Professor Ren Jixue， a master of TCM， believes that kidney deficiency and spleen deficiency are the root causes of IgAN， and the throat is the source of the disease. He proposed the theory of throat-kidney correlation and used the method of tonifying kidney and invigorating spleen as well as detoxifying and relieving sore-throat to treat IgAN， achieving significant therapeutic effects. Studies have shown that IgAN is closely related to mucosal immune defense. IgAN patients often experience recurrent and gradually worsening symptoms due to mucosal infections， and polymeric Ig receptor （PIgR） is an important component of mucosal defense function. The lack of PIgR leads to the accumulation of IgA molecules in the mucosal lamina propria， and the molecules enter the bloodstream in large quantities and ultimately deposit in the kidneys， causing kidney damage. Complement regulatory protein complement receptor type 1 （CR1） exists on red blood cells and glomeruli and has the function of inhibiting the activation and differentiation of B cells， clearing immune complexes， and inhibiting excessive activation of the complement system. Therefore， regulating the immune defense function through the mucosal-renal axis mediated by PIgR-CR1 will be an important target for preventing and treating IgAN. Based on the theory of throat-kidney correlation， this article explores the effects and molecular mechanisms of tonifying kidney and invigorating spleen as well as detoxifying and relieving sore-throat in preventing and treating IgAN by regulating the mucosal-kidney axis mediated by PIgR-CR1. It provides effective theoretical support and a scientific basis for TCM prevention and treatment of IgAN based on the theory of throat-kidney correlation.

Objective:To compare the safety, number of lymph nodes removed, rate of lymph node metastasis, and prognosis between proximal gastrectomy (PG) and total gastrectomy (TG) in patients with Siewert types II and III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, clinical data of patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction at Changzhi People's Hospital, affiliated with Changzhi Medical College, between December 2019 and November 2022, were collected. Patients who had received neoadjuvant therapy, had multiple malignant lesions in the stomach, had concomitant malignancies in other organs, had incomplete clinical data, or had been lost to follow-up were excluded. The study cohort comprised 308 patients, 99 in the PG group and 209 in the TG group. To reduce confounding bias, propensity score matching was performed, matching patients for age, sex, body mass index, tumor diameter, and pathological stage in a 1:1 ratio, resulting in 73 patients in each group. The primary outcomes assessed were operative details, number of lymph nodes dissected, rate of lymph node metastasis, postoperative complications, duration of hospital stay, and follow-up and survival outcomes.Results:The PG group had a significantly shorter median operative time than did the TG group (250 vs. 280 minutes, Z = -4.970, P<0.001), with fewer cases of intraoperative blood loss >100 mL (30.1%[22/73] vs. 46.6%[34/73], χ2=4.171, P=0.041), and a smaller number of lymph nodes removed (median 33 vs. 46, Z =-4.774, P<0.001); all of these differences are statistically significant (all P<0.05). Differences between the two groups in postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications were not statistically significant (both P>0.05). Furthermore, no statistically significant differences were found between the PG and TG groups in the number of lymph nodes dissected or the lymph node metastasis rates at stations No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4sa, No. 4sb, and No. 7 (all P> 0.05). Among the 209 patients in the TG group, analysis of risk factors for metastasis to distal perigastric lymph nodes (No.4d, No.5, and No.6) showed that patients with tumor diameters ≤4 cm and T1–T3 stage disease had significantly lower rates of metastasis to these lymph nodes than did patients with tumor diameters >4 cm and/or T4 stage disease (0/78 vs. 12/131 [9.2%]); these differences are statistically significant ( P=0.014). The median duration of follow-up for the entire cohort was 26 months. The 3-year overall survival rates for the PG and TG groups were 62.5% and 63.3%, respectively; this difference is not statistically significant (χ 2=0.330, P = 0.565). Multivariate analysis showed that older age ( P = 0.035) and advanced pathological stage ( P = 0.018) were significant independent risk factors that affected overall survival in patients with Siewert type II and III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. Conclusions:PG is safe and feasible for patients with Siewert types II and III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. The number of lymph nodes dissected and metastasis status were similar in the TG and PG groups.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum circularRNA-HOMER1(circHOMER1),microRNA(miR)-23a-3p levels with clinical stages and oxidative stress in patients with diabetic retinopathy(DR).Methods From January 2023 to July 2024,75 DR patients treated in Handan Central Hospital were included as the DR group.According to the clinical staging of DR,they were divided into non proliferative DR(NPDR group,n=43)and proliferative DR(PDR group,n=32).In addition,75 patients with simple type 2 diabetes who came to Handan Central Hospital were included as non DR group.The levels of serum circHOMER1,miR-23a-3p,malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),and reduced glutathione(GSH)were detect-ed.Clinical data of the subjects were collected.The TargetScan website was used to predict the targeting relationship between circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p.Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between serum circHOMER1,miR-23a-3p and MDA,SOD,GSH.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of progression of DR in type 2 diabetes patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)carve was used to analyze the predictive value of serum circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p in the progression of DR in patients with type 2 diabetes.Results There was a targeted relationship between circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p.The serum MDA(28.66±4.52ng/ml)and circHOMER1(1.24±0.16)levels in the DR group were higher than those in the non DR group(16.95±3.27ng/ml,1.02±0.11),while SOD(45.39±7.84U/L),GSH(135.82±21.23μg/mL)and miR-23a-3p(0.88±0.07)levels were lower than those in the non DR group(81.65±11.47U/L,207.44±25.95μg/mL,1.01±0.09),and differences were statistically significant(t=9.813～22.602,all P<0.001).The serum MDA(33.28±4.96ng/ml)and circHOMER1(1.36±0.20)levels in the PDR group were higher than those in the NPDR group(25.23±3.58ng/ml,1.15±0.17),while SOD(34.39±7.15U/L),GSH(113.50±20.17μg/ml)and miR-23a-3p(0.79±0.07)levels were lower than those in the NPDR group(53.27±8.44U/L,152.43±23.99μg/ml,0.94±0.08),and the differences were statistically significant(t=4.906～10.376,all P<0.001).Spearman analysis showed that serum MDA and circHOMER1 were positively correlated with the severity of DR(r=0.533,0.473,all P<0.001),while SOD,GSH,miR-23a-3p were negatively correlated with the severity of DR(r=-0.552,-0.515,-0.529,all P<0.001).Pearson analysis showed that serum circHOMER1 was negatively correlated with miR-23a-3p,SOD,GSH,and positively correlated with MDA(r=-0.475,-0.460,-0.455,0.462,all P<0.001).Serum miR-23a-3p was positively correlated with SOD and GSH,and negatively correlated with MDA(r=0.428,0.437,-0.439,all P<0.001).Logistic regression analysis showed that high MDA,low SOD,low GSH,high circHOMER1,low miR-23a-3p,high FPG and high HbA1c were the risk factors of progression of DR in type 2 diabetes patients(OR=0.214～3.556,all P<0.05).The area under curve(AUC)of serum circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p alone and jointhy predicting the progression of DR in type 2 diabetes patients were 0.751,0.797 and 0.903 respectively.The combined prediction was higher than that of serum circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p alone(Z=3.179,2.335,P=0.002,0.020).Conclusion Serum MDA and circHOMER1 levels are higher in DR patients,while serum SOD,GSH and miR-23a-3p levels are lower.Abnormal expression of circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p in serum is associated with progression of DR and oxidative stress.Combined detection of circHOMER1 and miR-23a-3p in serum can predict the progression of DR in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The objective of this study was to develop a rapid and precise detection technique for por-cine Senecavirus A(SVA)employing reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification(RT-RAA)in conjunction with CRISPR Cas13a technology.Additionally,the study aimed to opti-mize the assay's reaction conditions to enhance amplification efficiency.Eight RT-RAA primer sets were designed based on the conserved gene sequence of porcine SVA,and a series of reaction condi-tions were evaluated to refine the RT-RAA reaction system.Subsequently,CRISPR-derived RNA(crRNA)sequences were developed and selected to construct the RT-RAA-CRISPR reaction sys-tem.The method's specificity was determined by examining six prevalent porcine pathogenic nucleic acids,while its sensitivity was assessed using SVA cRNA standards quantified by digital PCR.The method's stability and the consistency of clinical sample analysis were also evaluated.The findings revealed that the optimized RT-RAA and CRISPR reaction systems exhibited the highest amplifi-cation efficiency at a reaction temperature of 37 ℃.Among the eight crRNAs,five were identified as exhibiting the strongest detection signals.The formulated RT-RAA-CRISPR Cas13a method demonstrated exceptional specificity,showing no cross-reactivity with other common porcine disea-ses,including ASFV,PRRSV,PEDV,PCV2,CSFV,and PRV.The method achieved high sensitivi-ty,detecting as low as 0.86 copies/μL of SVA,and exhibited stable fluorescence output,robust re-producibility,and the ability to complete clinical sample analysis within 50 minutes.Consistency e-valuation with six positive and 58 negative samples indicated 100％agreement in outcomes.These results substantiate that the study successfully established a rapid and specific RT-RAA-CRISPR Cas13a detection method for the on-site identification of porcine Senecavirus A,demonstrating high specificity and sensitivity,and holds promise for application in SVA monitoring and control initia-tives.

Objective:To explore the mechanism by which governance mechanisms within the county medical community affect organizational collaboration.Methods:Based on institutional logic theory,this study analyzes the bureaucratic logic,market logic,and community logic within the county medical community,clarifies the administrative mechanisms,competitive mechanisms,relational mechanisms,and other governance mechanisms arising from different logics,and constructs a framework for the role of governance mechanisms in organizational collaborative behavior.Using 235 township health centers within the county medical communities across the country as a sample,the study employs path analysis to empirically test the mechanism framework for county-township collaboration and township-village collaboration models.Results:In the county-township collaboration model,there are a total of 7 pathways.Administrative mechanism and competitive mechanism directly influence collaborative behavior,while organizational interests and need cognition play a partial mediating role;organizational cognition fully mediates between relational mechanism and collaborative behavior.In the town-village collaboration model,there are a total of 4 pathways.Administrative mechanism and competitive mechanism directly influence collaborative behavior,with organizational interest cognition partially mediating between competitive mechanism and collaborative behavior;organizational interest cognition fully mediates between relational mechanism and collaborative behavior.Conclusions:Administrative mechanism serve as the foundation for organizational collaborative behavior;competitive mechanism have a significant negative impact on organizational collaborative behavior;relational mechanism are an important safeguard for organizational collaboration;enhancing organizational interests can directly enhance collaborative behavior.
