Peptide-based radiopharmaceuticals targeting integrin α5β1 show promise for precise tumor diagnosis and treatment. However, current peptide-based radioligands that target α5β1 demonstrate inadequate in vivo performance owing to limited tumor retention. The use of PEGylation to enhance the tumor retention of radiopharmaceuticals by prolonging blood circulation time poses a risk of increased blood toxicity. Therefore, a PEGylation strategy that boosts tumor retention while minimizing blood circulation time is urgently needed. Here, we developed a PEGylation-enabled peptide multidisplay platform (PEGibody) for PR_b, an α5β1 targeting peptide. PEGibody generation involved PEGylation and self-assembly. [⁶⁴Cu]QM-2303 PEGibodies displayed spherical nanoparticles ranging from 100 to 200 nm in diameter. Compared with non-PEGylated radioligands, [⁶⁴Cu]QM-2303 demonstrated enhanced tumor retention time due to increased binding affinity and stability. Importantly, the biodistribution analysis confirmed rapid clearance of [⁶⁴Cu]QM-2303 from the bloodstream. Administration of a single dose of [¹⁷⁷Lu]QM-2303 led to robust antitumor efficacy. Furthermore, [⁶⁴Cu]/[¹⁷⁷Lu]QM-2303 exhibited low hematological and organ toxicity in both healthy and tumor-bearing mice. Therefore, this study presents a PEGibody-based radiotheranostic approach that enhances tumor retention time and provides long-lasting antitumor effects without prolonging blood circulation lifetime. The PEGibody-based radiopharmaceutical [⁶⁴Cu]/[¹⁷⁷Lu]QM-2303 shows great potential for positron emission tomography imaging-guided targeted radionuclide therapy for α5β1-overexpressing tumors.

Objective:To summarize the experience of designing transplanted hair based on the orbital morphology and tissue characteristics for the treatment of eyebrow defects after burns.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of the patients with eyebrow defects after burns who treated at Hair Transplantation Center, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between January 2011 and September 2023. The location and appearance of eyebrow were designed according to the orbital morphology and tissue characteristics. The follicles were extracted by incision of scalps strips and follicle unit excision (FUE) on the donor area of the occipital region near the posterior hairline or the posterior ear hairline. Scalps with scars that needed to be removed or had "dog ear" deformities following scalp expansion surgery that needed to be repaired were also be used as donor sites. The follicles were divided as follicle units (FUs) including single hair. The recipient area was punched with syringe needle of 22 or 22 G to subcutaneous superficial layer. Then the hair shaft was clamped with microforceps and the hairs were transplanted to the defective area to restore the appearance of eyebrow. The density, morphology, direction and scars of the donor sites were observed by following-ups.Results:A total of 197 patients with 282 eyebrows were recruited. There were 133 males and 64 females. The average age was 33.7 (9 to 62) years. There were 17 patients with skin graft transplantation in the eyebrow arch, 33 with flap and expanded flap repair, 36 with eyelid skin grafting, 111 with burn scar healing. A total of 51 patients had complete eyebrow defects on both sides, and 34 had partial defects. Sixty-five patients had complete eyebrow defects on single side, and 47 had partial defects. The amount of hair transplantation was from 53 to 600 FUs on 282 eyebrows. Seventy-five patients extracted follicles with incision of scalps strips and 122 with FUE. The patients were followed up for 9 months to 10 years. Folliculitis were found in 17 patients and completely cured by 75% alcohol disinfection. Nine patients with insufficient density underwent hair transplantation for a second time to increase the density of hairs one year later. And the implanted hairs grew well, which were similar to the shape and direction of normal eyebrows. Transplanted hairs of the rest patients grew well. The direction and appearance were satisfied. The scar in the donor site was not obvious.Conclusion:The transplanted hair should be designed primarily based on the orbital morphology and tissue characteristics for the treatment of eyebrow defects after burns. Then the position of the eyebrow and the bilateral symmetry should be considered. The ideal effect of eyebrow reconstruction would depend on the full consideration of the receipt site.

Objective:To explore the effect of Jian-Pi-Zhi-Dong decoction on autonomous activity and dopamine (dopamine, DA) synaptic vesicle protein expression in the striatum of Tourette syndrome (TS) model rats.Methods:The 4-week-old male SD rats were used to establish the TS model by intraperitoneal injection of N-aminodipropionate. Thirty successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group, Chinese medicine group, and tiberide group according to random number table method, with 10 rats in each group. And another 10 rats with matched body mass were selected as the control group. Rats in Chinese medicine group were given Jian-Pi-Zhi-Dong decoction solution (1.6 g/100 g) and the rats in tiapride group were given sulfate tiapride suspension (2.1 mg/100 g), while rats in control group and model group were given an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution, once a day for 4 weeks.The number of autonomous activities in rats was determined by autonomous activity programmer. ELISA was used to detect the level of DA in the striatum of rats and the expression of dopamine transporter (DAT).Vesicular monoamine transporter-2 (VMAT2) and α-synuclein (α-syn) were measured by Western blot.SPSS 25.0 software was used for data analysis. Multiple group comparisons were performed using one-way ANOVA, non-parametric test and repeated measures ANOVA.Results:Comparing the number of autonomous activities among the 4 groups, the interaction effect between time and group was significant ( F=184.354, P<0.001). At the 1-4 weeks of gavaging, the numbers of autonomic activities in the model group were more than those in the control group (all P<0.05).While the numbers of autonomic activities in Chinese medicine group and tiapride group were less than those in the model group (all P<0.05). Moreover, the numbers of autonomic activities in Chinese medicine group and tiapride group from 1 to 4 weeks were less than those after model making (all P<0.05). The Western blot results showed significant differences in the relative expression of α-syn ( H=29.098), DAT ( F=54.632) and VMAT2 ( H=18.982) among the 4 groups (all P<0.001). The expression levels of α-syn protein in Chinese medicine group and tiapride group were both lower than that in the model group (0.39(0.36, 0.51), 0.39(0.36, 0.50), 0.62(0.50, 0.70)) (both P<0.05). The expression level of DAT protein in Chinese medicine group was higher than that in the model group and lower than that in tiapride group ((0.37±0.06), (0.26±0.07), (0.49±0.09)) (both P<0.05). And the expression level of VMAT2 protein in Chinese medicine group had no significant difference compared with that in the model group ( P>0.05).The ELISA results showed significant differences in DA content of striatum among the 4 groups ( F=75.370, P<0.001). The level of DA in the model group was higher than that in the control group ((7.65±0.72) ng/L, (3.71±0.59) ng/L, P<0.05). The levels of DA in Chinese medicine group ((3.92±0.81) ng/L) and tiapride group ((4.40±0.53) ng/L) were lower than that in the model group (both P<0.05), and the difference between Chinese medicine group and tiapride group was not significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Jian-Pi-Zhi-Dong decoction can relieve the tic symptoms of the model rats with TS, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the excessive release of α-syn, improving the expression of DAT and VMAT2, improving the DA synaptic vesicle circulation, and reducing the DA content in the synaptic space of the brain.

Arsenic is an environmental toxicant widely present in nature, which can enter the human body through drinking water, respiration, and skin contact. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an important barrier that restricts the entry of toxins, metabolites, and other substances in the blood into the brain, thereby maintaining the homeostasis of the brain microenvironment. Different forms of arsenic may cross BBB in different ways, resulting in cognitive dysfunction in humans or animals. Therefore, BBB may play an important role in arsenic-induced cognitive dysfunction. This article provides a brief overview of the structure and function of the BBB, the transport mode of the BBB, experimental methods for evaluating the integrity of the BBB, and the relationship between arsenic-induced cognitive dysfunction and the integrity of the BBB. It provides reference for the subsequent search for the way arsenic passes through the BBB, and the determination of the role and mechanism of BBB damage in arsenic induced cognitive dysfunction.

The four properties of Chinese herbal medicine have a history of several thousand years and are one of the important theoretical guides for the clinical application of Chinese herbal medicine. However， there have been few reviews of research methods and techniques for the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine in recent years. Therefore， this article summarized the advances and techniques for the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine by screening relevant literature on the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine and clarifying the characteristics， advantages， and applicable objects of each technique， in order to provide references for in-depth research on the four properties in the future. Chinese databases such as China national knowledge infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang data， and VIP， as well as international databases including PubMed， Cochrane Library， and EMbase were searched for relevant literature on the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine. The advances， research objects， and research techniques involved in the literature were extracted， classified， and summarized. Currently， the research techniques for the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine mainly include six categories， i.e.， literature data research， network pharmacology， biothermodynamics， cell biology， proteomics， and metabolomics. The research hierarchy can be divided into micro-level， small-level， medium-level， and macro-level. The research objects used in each experimental study are different， mainly single Chinese herbal medicine， Chinese herbal monomers， targets， microbial communities， cells， mice， and rats. Different research techniques explain the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine from different dimensions， which overall indicate the material basis of the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine. In future research， the interpretation of the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine can be first located at the research hierarchy， then corresponding research techniques can be selected according to the research hierarchy， and research indicators can be determined to obtain research conclusions. This can help researchers of traditional Chinese medicine effectively carry out research design and perform related experiments on the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), also known as the multifactorial erythematous drug eruption, is a class of adverse reactions of the skin and mucous membranes primarily caused by drug allergy often involving the oral cavity, eyes, and external genital mucosa, generally accompanied by fever, and can be life-threatening in severe cases. In February 2022, the Department of Stomatology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University admitted a patient with huge inflammatory hyperplasia of bilateral lingual margins secondary to SJS. Upon admission, no other obvious symptoms were observed except for tongue hyperplasia. The patient suffered from a severe adverse drug reaction caused by acetaminophen 2 months ago and was complicated by liver dysfunction and pulmonary infection. After 1 month of treatment and rehabilitation, he developed a secondary tongue mass and was subsequently admitted to Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Ward 2, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. After completing the examination, the tongue mass was surgically removed. After a follow-up of 11 months, the patient's condition was satisfactory and no temporary discomfort was observed. The case of tongue mass secondary to SJS is extremely rare. If a stomatologist encounters a similar case, we should carefully inquire about the drug allergy history and recent medication history, and be alert to whether or not they had adverse drug reactions recently.

With the arrival of aging, various industries in society are facing great pressure, especially higher requirements for the medical and nursing industries. The integrated eldercare services with medical care breaks through the traditional endowment pattern and integrates medical treatment, elderly care, rehabilitation, and nursing. However, many factors hinder the development of this model at present, and it requires the cooperation of the country and various departments to improve. From the perspective of a Healthy China, based on the release and implementation of policies such as the "Healthy China 2030" Plan Outline and the "Healthy China Action (2019-2030)" , this paper briefly summarized the current status and existing problems of the development of integrated eldercare services with medical care in China, and put forward rectification suggestions, aiming to provide reference to build a new endowment pattern of integrated eldercare services with medical care with Chinese characteristics.

In vitro cell experiment based on serum pharmacology is a common way to study the pharmacodynamic mechanism of Chinese medicine， and screening the optimal intervention concentration of serum containing Chinese medicine is a key step in the whole experiment. Over-diluted serum containing Chinese medicine or over-high concentration leads to false negative or positive results， while the optimal concentration of medicated serum reduces the number of groups in subsequent experiments as well as the operation error. Thus it is of great significance to screen the optimal serum concentration in studying the pharmacodynamic mechanism of Chinese medicine in in vitro cell experiments. However， there has been no unified standards for the screening methods at present. After reviewing the literature in China and abroad in the past 20 years， this paper conducted an analysis from three aspects of intragastric dose of Chinese medicine， blood collection time and serum dilution degree， and then summarized the screening methods for optimal concentration of serum containing drugs， providing guidance for the study of pharmacodynamic mechanism of Chinese medicine. The screening methods mainly included "same intragastric dose， same blood collection time， and different concentrations" "different intragastric doses， same blood collection time， and same concentration" "same intragastric dose， different blood collection time， and same concentration" "different intragastric doses， different blood collection time， and different concentrations" "serum lyophilized powder" "simulation of gradient concentration of serum containing western medicine" and "pure serum intervention". Among them， the former two were the dominant ways in current related research. The above screening methods had their own advantages and disadvantages， and researchers should make a reasonable choice according to the specific requirements and actual situation of the experiments.
