OBJECTIVE To investigate the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of eleutheroside B （ELB） on Parkinson’s disease （PD） model mice by regulating the IκB kinase β （IKKβ）/nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway. METHODS Fifty mice were randomly divided into normal control group， model group， positive control group （selegiline hydrochloride， 10 mg/kg）， and ELB low-dose and high-dose groups （80， 160 mg/kg）， with 10 mice in each group. Each group was given relevant medicine or normal saline intragastrically for 14 consecutive days. Starting from the 10th day of administration， the model group and all administration groups were intraperitoneally injected with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1，2，3，6-tetrahydropyridine （MPTP） 30 mg/kg， for five consecutive days to establish the chronic PD model. After the last administration for 24 h， six mice were randomly selected from each group to test their behavioral abilities； detect the levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-10， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in brain tissue and their mRNA expressions were measured， and positive expression of tyrosine hydroxylase （TH）， protein expressions of TH， α -synuclein （ α -syn）， ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 （Iba-1）， as well as phosphorylation levels of IKKβ and NF-κB p65 proteins in the brain tissue were detected. The ultrastructure of neurons in substantia nigra was observed. RESULTS Compared with the model group， rotarod endurance time and climbing score of each administration group （except for the ELB low-dose group） were increased significantly （ P ＜0.05）， while the levels and mRNA expressions of IL-1β， TNF-α， α -syn， and Iba-1， as well as phosphorylation levels of IKKβ and NF-κB p65 proteins in brain tissue were decreased significantly （except for TNF-α in the ELB low-dose group）. Conversely， the level and mRNA expression of IL-10 （except for the ELB low-dose group）， TH positive expression and protein expressions were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）. Typical neurodegenerative pathological changes， such as neuronal karyopyknosis， mitochondrial swelling and vacuolization， and endoplasmic reticulum dilation， all showed varying degrees of improvement. CONCLUSIONS ELB may exert neuroprotective effects by inhibiting the activation of the IKKβ/NF-κB signaling pathway， alleviating inflammatory responses， reducing abnormal α -syn aggregation and neuronal loss， and further improving motor dysfunction in PD mice.

OBJECTIVE To provide data support and theoretical reference for drug-regulatory authorities to implement targeted supervision over internet-based pharmaceutical sales.METHODS Using keywords such as “internet-based pharmaceutical sales” and “online drug sales”， the official websites of the People’s Government， drug-regulatory authorities and databases including PKULaw and others were searched， so as to collect typical cases and public disclosure information of administrative penalties related to internet-based pharmaceutical sales from January 2014 to June 2024. Guided by accident-causation theory， the text-mining method was adopted to identify risk factors from four dimensions： human unsafe behaviors， unsafe state of substances， environmental factors and safety management. Grey relational analysis was performed to quantitatively evaluate and screen key risk factors， and targeted governance suggestions were subsequently put forward.RESULTS A total of 617 administrative penalty cases were included. The number of cases increased significantly since 2018. The regional distribution of cases presented a characteristic of “high in the east and low in the west”. Violations were mainly concentrated in the business qualification examination link， and online pharmaceutical retail enterprises were the dominant law-breaking subjects. A risk identification system for internet-based pharmaceutical sales was constructed， covering 4 primary-level， 17 secondary-level and 56 tertiary-level risk factors. Through grey relational analysis， 37 key tertiary-level risk factors （most of which belonged to the safety-management dimension） including inadequate bill management and illegal drug-advertising content， as well as 12 key secondary-level risk factors such as drug-advertising violations and non-standard drug storage， were screened out.CONCLUSIONS Inadequate capabilities and weak compliance awareness of practitioners， illegal drug advertising， non-standard drug storage and transportation， and imperfect quality-management systems of online-drug-sales enterprises and third-party platforms are prominent safety risk factors for internet-based pharmaceutical sales. It is recommended to strengthen qualification examination and competency training for practitioners， standardize drug-information display and drug advertising， improve the management system of drug warehousing and logistics， and refine institutional requirements for key links， so as to improve the supervision efficiency of internet-based pharmaceutical sales.

The pathogenesis of respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD),asthma,and pulmonary hypertension remains incompletely understood.However,accumulating evi-dence suggests that calcium ion channels play a critical role in these disorders.As a key second messenger,cal-cium ions regulates diverse physiological and pathological processes.Studies indicate that calcium ion homeo-stasis,including their concentration and distribution and spatial distribution is mediated primarily through ino-sitol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor(IP3R)channel.Disruption of this homeostasis may contribute to the devel-opment of COPD,asthma,and other respiratory diseases.Nevertheless,the role of IP3R channels in respirato-ry diseases require further investigation.

6-Thioguanine(6-TG)is an antineoplastic agent used in treatment of acute leukemia.However,significant interindividual variability in dosing regimens and frequent clinical manifestations of hepatotoxicity and myelosuppression as adverse effects have affected its therapeutic efficacy.Consequently,the development of rapid analytical methods for 6-TG in clinical samples,enabling continuous therapeutic drug monitoring of plasma concentrations,holds substantial significance in optimizing dosage regimens,mitigating adverse reactions,and investigating drug metabolism mechanisms.In this study,multi-tipped gold nanostars(AuNSs)were prepared.With bis-(p-sulfonylphenyl)phenylphosphine molecule as the protecting agent and internal standard molecule,the AuNSs were assembled onto a highly sensitive surface-enhanced Raman(SERS)substrate for developing a ratio-based SERS quantitative analysis method for 6-TG in serum.The AuNSs containing multiple tips and gaps exhibited strong local surface plasmon resonance effect and SERS activity,ensuring the sensitivity of the analytical method.Furthermore,the introduction of internal standard molecules could improve the reproducibility,which guaranteed this method suitable for rapid analysis of drug molecules in complex samples.Quantitative analysis of 6-TG was achieved with linear detetion range of 1.0×10?4-1.0 mmol/L.In the spiked recovery experiments of serum,the RSD was less than 5.32%,and the recoveries were 94%-104%,which proved that this method could be used for rapid quantitative determination of 6-TG in serum.This method provided a powerful tool for studying drug pharmacokinetics,which could promote the optimization of the usage methods of anti-cancer drugs,and it was expected to further enhance the clinical efficacy and safety of 6-TG,enabling it to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of child injuries（CI）and provide a scientific basis for developing CI prevention and treatment strategies.Methods:Clinical data of CI cases admitted to Kunshan Woman and Children’s Healthcare Hospital from January 1st，2020 to December 31st，2022 were collected. The cases were classified into three age groups：infants and toddlers（0-3 years），preschoolers（4-6 years），and school-age children（7-14 years）. Post hoc testing was used for pairwise comparisons between groups，and differences were determined based on adjusted standardized residuals（AR）. The epidemiological characteristics that were analyzed included the type，location，and nature of injuries across these age groups.Results:A total of 12 449 CI cases were collected with a male-to-female ratio of 1.72∶1. School-age boys were more prone to injuries（72.2%， AR=16.3）compared to the other two age groups. The major CI types were falls（50.4%），blunt injuries（15.9%），and strains（9.9%）. The infant and toddler group showed higher rates of strains（21.9%， AR=34.9）and poisonings（7.9%， AR=19.6）compared to the other two groups，while preschoolers group had higher rates of falls（55.6%， AR=6.5）and motor vehicle accidents（4.8%， AR=3.6）compared to other age groups. The most frequently injured body regions were upper limbs（43.9%），head/face/neck（27.0%），and lower limbs（16.7%）. The infant and toddler group had higher rates of head/face/neck（34.8%， AR=15.4），upper limb（46%， AR=3.6），and whole body（8.9%， AR=18.7）injuries. The nature of CI mainly includes contusion/bruise/crush injury（34.3%），fractures（20.0%）and sharp/open wounds（19.5%）. School-age children exhibited higher rates of fractures（30.1%， AR=22.1），strains/sprains（10.1%， AR=13.0），contusion/bruise/crush injury（36.6%， AR=4.2），and multi-site injuries（0.7%， AR=4.4）compared to the other two groups. Injuries were mostly mild（90.8%），with infants and toddlers showing higher mild injury rates（95.0%， AR=12.7），whereas school-aged children had more moderate injuries（11.7%， AR=11.0）. Conclusion:The epidemiological characteristics of CI in infants and toddlers，preschoolers and school-age children are different，and different intervention strategies are needed for different age groups.

Objective:To summarize the medication law and academic experience of Professor Yuan Jinsheng in the treatment of angina pectoris (AP) of coronary heart disease (CHD) through R language data mining technique.Methods:The effective outpatient medical records of Professor Yuan Jinsheng in the treatment of AP of CHD from January 1, 2016 to September 30, 2023 were selected, and the R 4.2.3 was used for frequency statistics, association rule analysis, systematic clustering analysis and correlation analysis of prescription drugs.Results:A total of 292 prescriptions were included, including 268 patients, involving 204 kinds of Chinese materia medica, and the total frequency of Chinese materia medica was 4 253 times. The main properties were warm and neutral, the main tastes were bitter, pungent and sweet, and the main meridians were spleen, lung and liver meridians. The analysis of association rules obtained 125 core TCM combinations, and the commonly used drug pair was Trichosanthis Fructus-Aurantii Fructus Immaturus. The core prescription composed of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, Chuanxiong Rhizoma, Trichosanthis Fructus, Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium and Salviea Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Seven TCM groups of were obtained by systematic clustering analysis. Correlation analysis showed that the drug pairs with phi coefficient greater than 0.6 were in 8 groups.Conclusions:Studies suggest that AP of CHD is located in the heart, which is related to lung, spleen, liver and kidney, deficiency in root and excess in superficiality, phlegm, blood stasis and qi stagnation are important pathological factors. The treatment is based on the basic principles of tonifying qi, promoting yang, relieving rheumatism, resolving phlegm, activating blood circulation, and promoting qi circulation. It embodies Professor Yuan's academic thoughts and principles of differentiation and treatments of "taking fluency as the main point, regulating the five internal organs and weighing the root and superficiality".

Mitochondria, functioning not only as the central hub of cellular energy metabolism but also as semi-autonomous organelles, orchestrate cellular fate decisions through their endogenous mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which encodes core components of the electron transport chain. Emerging research has identified microRNAs localized within mitochondria, termed mitochondria-located microRNAs (mitomiRs). Recent studies have revealed that mitomiRs are transcribed from nuclear DNA (nDNA), processed and matured in the cytoplasm, and subsequently transported into mitochondria. mitomiRs regulate mtDNA through diverse mechanisms, including modulation of mtDNA expression at the translational level and direct binding to mtDNA to influence transcription. Aberrant expression of mitomiRs leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and contributes to the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases. Restoring mitomiR expression to physiological levels using mitomiRs mimics or inhibitors has been shown to improve mitochondrial function and alleviate related diseases. Consequently, the regulatory mechanisms of mitomiRs have become a major focus in mitochondrial research. Given that mitomiRs are located in mitochondria, targeted delivery strategies designed for mtDNA can be adapted for the delivery of mitomiRs mimics or inhibitors. However, numerous intracellular and extracellular barriers remain, highlighting the need for more precise and efficient delivery systems in the future. The regulation of mtDNA expression mediated by mitomiRs not only expands our understanding of miRNA functions in post-transcriptional gene regulation but also provides promising molecular targets for the treatment of mitochondrial-related diseases. This review systematically summarizes recent research progress on mitomiRs in regulating mtDNA expression and discusses the underlying mechanisms of mitomiRs-mtDNA interactions. Additionally, it provides new perspectives on precision therapeutic strategies, with a particular emphasis on mitomiRs-based regulation of mitochondrial function in mitochondrial-related diseases.

Objective To report the diagnosis,treatment,and verification process of a patient with sex development disorder whose chromosomal karyotype and genetic test results are inconsistent,and conduct a literature review to improve the understanding of the mosaic status of sexual development disorders.Methods A 14-year-old patient presented with primary amenorrhea on April 3,2020,at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University,exhibiting female sexual characteristics.The patient underwent ultrasonic/magnetic resonance imaging of gonads,assessment of gonadal axis function,chromosomal karyotype,and molecular genetic testing,as well as pelvic exploration,malignant gonads resection,and hormone replacement therapy,resulting in drug-induced menstruation.During the diagnosis and treatment,it was found that the patient's chromosomal karyotype analysis was inconsistent with the molecular genetic test results.Subsequently,samples from the three germ layer cells were taken,and fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)was used to detect the sex chromosomes in each germ layer cell.XY probes were used to label the gonadal pathological sections to explore the distribution differences of the Y chromosome in the gonads,and changes in anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH)levels before and after surgery were compared.Databases such as Wanfang and PubMed were searched to summarize relevant cohort study literature and understand the current status of research on this disease.Results The patient's body exhibited a significant differences between the 45,X and 46,XY cell lines in different germ layers and within the same layer tissues.The proportion of 45,X in buccal mucosal cells derived from the ectoderm was 30%(6/20),in peripheral blood lymphocytes derived from the mesoderm was 9.7%(11/114),and in bladder shed cells derived from endoderm was 20.4%(22/108).The gonadal pathological sections labeled with XY probes indicated a mosaic state with a reduced Y-chromosome;where the epididymal structure area had a 45,X cell line mosaic of 50.0%,and the malignant area had a normal"Y"content.After gonadal resection,AMH levels significantly dropped from 7.28 pmol/L to＜0.07 pmol/L.Literature review revealed that patients with 45,X/46,XY have a complex phenotype spectrum,most with features of Turner syndrome,and female phenotypes are at risk of gonadal tumors.Conclusions In the diagnosis of difficult cases of sex development disorders,when performing peripheral blood karyotype testing,the number of counted cells and analyzed cells should be increased as much as possible,and multi-germ layer cell sampling should be performed.Gonads with a high"Y"mosaic rate are more prone to malignancy in the abdominal cavity.Detecting AMH levels can distinguish cryptorchidism and anorchidism in sexual development disorders with Y chromosomes.

Objective To explore the impact of polymorphisms in the solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1(SLCO1B1)and apolipoprotein E(APOE)genes on statins selection and prognosis in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods This retrospective study enrolled 612 patients with coronary heart disease hospitalized in Tianjin Beichen Hospital from January 2021 to February 2023.Among them,411 patients who underwent PCI were assigned to PCI group,and 201 patients who did not undergo PCI were assigned to non-PCI group.According to treatment methods,PCI group was further divided into two subgroups:observation subgroup(n=305)and control subgroup(n=106).Non-PCI group was also divided into two subgroups:observation subgroup(n=147)and control subgroup(n=54).Patients in all observation subgroups underwent the detection of SLCO1B1 and APOE gene polymorphisms before medication,and an initial individualized treatment plan(including the selection of appropriate statins and dosages)was formulated based on the detection results.Patients in control subgroups were given statins at conventional dosages.Basic data before medication,post-medication lipid compliance rates[lipid intention-to-treat(ITT)compliance rate and lipid per-protocol analysis(PP)compliance rate],time to lipid compliance,liver function indicators before and after medication,and prognosis,as well as SLCO1B1 and APOE genotyping and allele frequency distribution were compared between observation subgroup and control subgroup.Conditional logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between different genotypes and prognostic susceptibility.Multifactor dimensionality reduction(MDR)was applied to analyze the interaction between SLCO1B1 genotype and APOE genotype.Results All genotypes of SLCO1B1 and APOE genes in observation subgroups conformed to the Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium test(P>0.05).Compared with control subgroups,the observation subgroups had significantly higher lipid PP compliance rates after 6 and 12 months of treatment.After 3 months of treatment,the number of completed cases and compliant cases in observation subgroups was significantly higher,and the time to lipid compliance was significantly shorter than that in control subgroups(P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,there were no significant changes in alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and creatine kinase isoenzyme(CK-MB)levels in either observation subgroups or control subgroups(P>0.05);the levels of total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)were significantly decreased(P<0.001),while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)level was significantly increased(P<0.01).After 12 months of treatment,the aspartate aminotransferase(AST)level in observation subgroups was significantly lower than that before medication and also lower than that in the corresponding control subgroups(P<0.05).Within PCI group:there were 1 case and 5 cases of myocardial infarction,2 cases and 6 cases of target vessel revascularization,0 cases and 3 cases of stroke,0 cases and 7 cases of recurrent angina pectoris,1 case and 5 cases of readmission in observation subgroup and control subgroup,respectively.There were statistically significant differences between observation subgroup and control subgroup(P<0.05).Within non-PCI group:there were 0 cases and 3 cases of cardiogenic death,2 cases and 6 cases of myocardial infarction,2 cases and 5 cases of target vessel revascularization,0 cases and 4 cases of stroke,0 cases and 8 cases of recurrent angina pectoris,and 2 cases and 4 cases of readmission in observation subgroup and control subgroups,respectively,with statistically significant differences between the two subgroups(P<0.05).In the recessive model,SLCO1B1 and APOE genes were significantly correlated with prognosis in both PCI observation subgroup and non-PCI observation subgroup(P<0.05).MDR analysis of the interaction between SLCO1B1 genotype and APOE genotype in PCI observation subgroup and non-PCI observation subgroup showed that there was a significant interaction between the genotypes,which was closely related to prognosis(P<0.05).Conclusion Individualized statin treatment regimens based on the detection of SLCO1B1 and APOE gene polymorphisms can improve the lipid compliance rate,shorten the time to lipid compliance,and improve the prognosis of patients after PCI.
