Objective To explore the correlation between the epicaridal adipose tissue (EAT)volume and the SNYTAX score in patients with coronary artery diseases and to evaluate its clinical value.Methods Epicardial fat volume of 102 patients with coronary heart disease in our hospital were measured on dual-source CT angiography images,SNYTAX scores were calculated,and level of blood lipids,blood glucose (Glu),blood pressure,renal functional parameters and body mass index(BMI)were collected.Depending on SNYTAX scores,patients were divided into three groups (mild 0-22,moderate 23-32 and severe>33).The difference of EAT volume between groups and correlation with other indicators were analyzed.With indictors statistical significant in one-factor analysis,multi-ple regression equation was constructed to evaluate the risk factors of coronary artery diseases,particularly correlation between EAT volume and SNYTAX score.Results EAT,TC,TG,HDL,HbALc,GLu and BMI were significant different between three groups. Pearson regression showed that EAT,TC,GLu and BMI were independently risk factor in relation to the value of SNYTAX.Among them,standardized regressive coefficient of the EAT volume was the highest (β=0.52).Conclusion EAT volume is significantly positively correlated with the SNYTAX score in coronary heart disease,which can be as an effective predictor for its severity and prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of liraglutide in the treatment of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease(NAFLD).Methods Randomized controlled trials(RCTs)that evaluated the efficacy of liraglutide for NAFLD treatment were searched in multiple databases,including Pubmed,EMBASE,the Cochrane library,CNKI,Wanfang database and VIP.Literature identification and data extraction were based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results A total of 7 RCTs with 500 patients of NAFLD were included.Improved liver histology,or improved the level of alanine aminotransferase[WMD=-25.32,95%CI(-37.22,-13.41),P<0.01] and aspartate aminotransferase[WMD=-24.56,95%CI(-35.10,-14.03),P<0.01] were seen in 12-48 weeks liraglutide treatment.However,liraglutide could not decreased the level of serum cholesterol[WMD=-14.38,95%CI(-48.95,-20.20),P=0.42] and triglyceride[WMD=-15.55,95%CI(-36.20,-5.10),P=0.14].Conclusion liraglutide has the therapeutic effect of NAFLD.

Icariin,which belongs to the class of flavonoids,is the main active ingredient of the traditional tonic Chinese herb Epimedii Folium.Modern studies have shown that icariin has a wide range of effects on the male reproductive system.It has various pharmacological activities such as regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis,antioxidants,promoting testosterone secretion,improving erectile function,inhibiting prostate cancer cell migration,invasion,and regulating cell cycle.It has research value and application prospects in the field of urology and assisted reproduction.Therefore,Icariin's pharmacological effects and molecular mechanisms on the male reproductive system are reviewed in this paper combined with literature visualization analysis.It is expected to provide a theoretical basis for the therapeutic value development and application of icariin in male reproductive health.

OBJECTIVE To provide references for the safe use of lorlatinib in clinical practice. METHODS The reporting odds ratio (ROR) method, Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency comprehensive standard method (referred to as “MHRA method”) and the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) method were used to detect adverse drug events (ADEs) signals of lorlatinib in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System from the first quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2022. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS Totally 114 overlapping ADEs signals of lorlatinib were detected by the three methods, among which there were 73 new suspicious ADEs signals which were not covered in the instruction of lorlatinib. When using loratinib in clinical practice, special attention should be paid to ADEs with a high number of cases and signals, such as various neurological diseases, psychiatric diseases, respiratory system, thoracic and mediastinal diseases; clinical manifestations included cerebral edema, cerebral infarction, pulmonary hypertension, mutism, decreased sexual desire, pleural effusion. The signals of mobile thrombophlebitis, radiation necrosis, mutism, vesicoureteral reflux not mentioned in the instructions were all strong in BCPNN detection with high specificity, to which we should pay attention in clinical application.

OBJECTIVE To mine and analyze severe cutaneous adverse reaction signals of 5 commonly used immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), and to provide reference for clinically safe use of drugs. METHODS Based on the FDA adverse events reporting system (FAERS) database,adverse drug events (ADEs) reports about severe cutaneous adverse reactions related to ipilimumab, nivolumab, pembrolizumab, atezolizumab and durvalumab were collected from listing in the United States to the fourth quarter of 2022. The ADE signals were mined and analyzed with reporting odds ratio (ROR) and Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN). RESULTS A total of 5 726 reports of severe cutaneous adverse reactions were collected, including 3 037 reports for nivolumab,1 465 reports for pembrolizumab, 130 reports for durvalumab, 429 reports for atezolizumab and 665 reports for ipilimumab. All 5 kinds of ICIs caused positive signals, the correlation degree of which was as follows: pembrolizumab>atezolizumab>nivolumab>ipilimumab>durvalumab. Stevens-Johnson syndrome(SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) have been reported for all 5 ICIs, and the association was the strongest with pembrolizumab. CONCLUSIONS All 5 kinds of ICIs are associated with the risk of severe skin adverse reactions, and close attention should be paid to their clinical use, especially being cautious when using pembrolizumab. The combination of ICIs should be avoided as much as possible.
