BackgroundMonitoring the blood concentrations of antipsychotic drugs and their metabolites can guide the adjustment of clinical treatment plans， improving therapeutic efficacy while reducing adverse effects. However， there is currently a lack of a method that can accurately and efficiently quantitatively detect multiple antipsychotic drugs and their metabolites. ObjectiveTo establish a ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （UPLC-MS/MS） method for the simultaneous identification and quantitation of 12 antipsychotic drugs and their main metabolites in human serum. MethodsUsing UPLC-MS/MS technology， protein precipitation method was employed for sample pretreatment. An Agela Technologies Durashell C₈ chromatographic column （50 mm×3.0 mm， 5 μm） was selected for chromatographic separation with gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.4 mL/min， and the total analysis time was 5 minutes. The column temperature was 40℃. The mass spectrometry detection was carried out in the multiple reaction monitoring （MRM） mode， and the isotope internal standard method was used for quantification. ResultsThe relative standard deviation （RSD） of the internal standard normalization matrix effect factor for 12 antipsychotic drugs and their main metabolites at low and high quality concentrations was all less than 15%. The extraction recovery rate was 85% to 115%. They showed good linear relationships within their respective standard curve ranges （r>0.995）. At low， medium， and high quality concentrations， the accuracy was 85.24% to 114.71%， and the RSD of intra-batch and inter-batch precision was all ≤14.15%， with good stability. ConclusionAll the analytical performance indicators of this method meet the verification requirements， providing an analytical means for the quantitative detection of antipsychotic drugs and their main metabolites in human serum. ［Funded by The Third Batch of Science and Technology Projects in Chaozhou City in 2023 （number， 202303GY02）］

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of digitally assisted design of surgical template for fibular composite tissue flap in reconstruction of segmental mandibular defect with soft tissue defect.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 30 patients who were treated at the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the 920th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of Chinese PLA from July 2020 to May 2024 for segmental mandibular defects combined with soft tissue defect. The cohort comprised 19 males and 11 females and aged 11-71 years (44.33 years±15.31 years). Pathological diagnoses of the patients were ameloblastoma (14 cases), squamous cell carcinoma (9 cases), osteomyelitis (4 cases), and odontogenic keratocyst (3 cases). Primary reconstructive surgery were performed on 21 patients after surgical resection of lesions, and 9 patients received secondary reconstructive surgery. The length of mandibular defect ranged from 75.83 mm to 111.45 mm (87.31 mm±12.00 mm), and soft tissue defects were measured at 5.0 cm×1.8 cm to 8.6 cm×2.1 cm (mean area 13.63 cm 2±2.42 cm 2). Preoperative CTA was performed to locate the perforator of peroneal artery and for design of digital surgical template. Intraoperatively, a modified fibula composite tissue flap harvesting technique was employed and that involved in: CTA-guided perforator planning, fibula osteotomy, anterior intermuscular septum exposure for identifying the peroneal artery, and a digital template-assisted fibula crafting for reconstruction of mandibule and soft tissue defect. Postoperative follow-ups were conducted at 1, 3, and 6 months, followed by quarterly reviews at outpatient clinic or via telephone interviews. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 27.0 software with descriptive statistical methods. Results:After surgery, all the fibula composite tissue flaps were viable and the incision wound healed well. Two patients had partial necroses at distal edge of the flaps, and they were healed after treatment. One patient had donor site infection and healed after anti-infective treatment. One month after the surgery, patients were assessed according to the recovery of face, mouth opening and occlusion, of which 25 patients (83.3%) were rated of Grade I, 4 (13.3%) of Grade Ⅱ, and 1 (3.4%) of Grade Ⅳ, with an excellent and good rates of 96.6%. The average distance of condylar movement on the affected side was 1.28 mm±0.35 mm. Postoperative follow-up lasted for 10 to 22 months, with 19.17 months±2.14 months in average. Assessment at the final follow-up was found that a total of 26 patients (86.8%) were of Grade I, 3 (10.0%) of Grade Ⅱ, and 1 (3.3%) of Grade Ⅳ and all the transferred fibula showed good alignment with the mandible over the postoperative follow-up period.Conclusion:Digital template-assisted design of fibular composite tissue flap enables a precise vascular protection, individualised osteotomy and functional restoration in reconstruction of segmental mandibular defect with soft tissue defect. It demonstrates a high clinical feasibility.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of S100 cabinding protein A7(S100A7),insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1),and receptor for advanced glycation end products(RAGE)in type Ⅰ endometrial carcinoma(EC).Methods 60 patients with type 1 EC and 30 normal endometrial tissues were selected and analyzed by real-time fluorescent quantita-tive polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE mRNA in dif-ferent endometrial tissues.The protein expression of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE in 107 type Ⅰ EC tissues,24 cases endometrial tissues with atypical hyperplasia and 30 normal endometrial tissues were detected by immunohistochemical method.The correlation between the three and the clinicopathological characteristics of the patients was analyzed.Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve,and COX regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors affecting the survival and prognosis of patients.Results The expres-sions of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE mRNA in EC tissues were increased compared with normal endometrial tissues(P＜0.05).The positive rates of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE proteins increased with the progression of endometrial lesions,and there was a significant positive correlation among them(P＜0.05).For different International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO)staging,pres-ence or absence of lymph node metastasis,and degree of tissue differentiation in type Ⅰ EC,The positive rates of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE were different(P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the average survival time of patients with positive expres-sion of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE was lower.COX regression analysis showed that lymph node metastasis,high expression of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE were independent risk factors for prognosis of patients with type Ⅰ EC.Conclusion The increased expression levels of S100A7,IGF-1 and RAGE in type Ⅰ EC are closely associated with the emergence,progress and bleak prognosis of EC.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the neuroprotective effects of Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction (XFZYD) based on in vivo and metabolomics experiments. METHODS: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) was induced via a controlled cortical impact (CCI) method. Thirty rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (10 for each): sham, CCI and XFZYD groups (9 g/kg). The administration was performed by intragastric administration for 3 days. Neurological functions tests, histology staining, coagulation and haemorheology assays, and Western blot were examined. Untargeted metabolomics was employed to identify metabolites. The key metabolite was validated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunofluorescence. RESULTS: XFZYD significantly alleviated neurological dysfunction in CCI model rats (P<0.01) but had no impact on coagulation function. As evidenced by Evans blue and IgG staining, XFZYD effectively prevented blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption (P<0.05, P<0.01). Moreover, XFZYD not only increased the expression of collagen IV, occludin and zona occludens 1 but also decreased matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which protected BBB integrity (all P<0.05). Nine potential metabolites were identified, and all of them were reversed by XFZYD. Adenosine was the most significantly altered metabolite related to BBB repair. XFZYD significantly reduced the level of equilibrative nucleoside transporter 2 (ENT2) and increased adenosine (P<0.01), which may improve BBB integrity. CONCLUSIONS XFZYD ameliorates BBB disruption after TBI by decreasing the levels of MMP-9 and COX-2. Through further exploration via metabolomics, we found that XFZYD may exert a protective effect on BBB by regulating adenosine metabolism via ENT2.
